Young fashion designer Julia is intrigued, when a strange old man suddenly introduces himself as her grandfather, Alexander, and claims that her father is still alive.
A family history of which she knew nothing begins to unfold. In the 1950s, Alexander had fallen head over heels in love with Giulietta, and a night of passion led to the birth of Vincenzo. Family pressure persuades Giulietta to abandon Alexander and marry the car mechanic Enzo. When the marriage fails, she moves with Vincenzo to Munich, where her relationship with Alexander is rekindled. Soon after the couple decides to make a fresh start together, Giulietta is killed in a car accident, which Alexander survives. Enzo is suspected of having sabotaged the car. His mother’s death and the discovery that Alexander is his biological father deal Vincenzo a shattering blow.
The three-part drama series Bella Germania tells a German-Italian family story spanning generations – from the German ‘Wirtschaftswunder’ to the present – with heart and soul.
“As a classic melodrama, this three-parter is successful, it is exactly what one would associate with ‘Herzkino’” – Tittelbach.tv
“The drama manages to find an appealing style. This is due to the consistently good actors, but, above all, it is due to the locations: mini-series was shot in idyllic locations in the southern Italian region of Apulia, and a feeling of wanderlust sets from the beginning.” – Goldene Kamera
