calipari has just joined a computer company as a sales person and is hoping for a quiet life. to manny's condiment. but again. k.g.b. cia m i 6 calipari is courted by them all and starts a dangerous games $20000.00 and just don't want to work with me. and you to come to me so there is unfinished business was and. everything seems possible in this phase of transition characters take on a new identities to reinvent themselves not the 1st time germans have adapted to survive. that a country renown today for stability and security has gone within a 100 years from monarchy to failed democracy fascist dictatorship

a communist state to a united 1st a successful western democracy then a united and successful democracy this has hardly happened anywhere else in the world in quite this way and one could almost say the germans are world champions of reinventing themselves. in france as with most of this is my belief is that it do one of the one of the top echelon of the g.d.r. secret service flees to italy and works together with the mafia sleeveless and competence to space others person to more legitimate business opportunities the problem computer. providers want to mean google and. various important. direct solian you serve came to germany from iraq in 1996 she knew german history only from movies and books. doing germany 89 it

all became much more vivid i filmed in the places where this all took place where this history was lived and i had discussions with chee members some who fled some who say. so i heard 1st and stories also and i have the feeling that i actually relive that time. together with fellow director rhonda shah who'd she has staged the final series as an extended road movie with some striking visual sequences our hero on a psychedelic trip. during its learned $89.00 breakneck trip through german history the wait is over. the wait is over and my colleague michael kroger is here now and speaking of the wait being over for someone who wants to watch george 9 maybe hasn't seen 83 and 86 can you watch the new series without having seen the last 2 of course each season

can be watched without the other and because the basic story is nearly always the same you have this guy who really wants to have a quiet life and he constantly is untangle in great historical events in the eighty's this starts in the 1st serious with 83 we can have a look at it much in the gulf there was a simple socha believing in the coming of the system of east germany and the against his will he smuggled into the west as a spy and preventing in the end nuclear well just by accident we see him here in the. completely overwhelmed. and then afterwards in 86. he is used for deals in angola to. east germany's and to cuff us this all sounds very very serious but it isn't is really

big fun and not because of that crazy story also because of the music of the eighty's of course and speaking of music of course the main actor on the show your last night is also a musician how does he combine these 2 passions well that wasn't is not not so much time for his band put it on her translated it's something like put over a little lady here. and so he managed to produce a video for us latest song security see during the filming. and i think we've got a clip of that let's just check that out securely to. so this is a sequence where marching around me is just dancing to the music dance so i've got them all to. got his case. he's actually on the way to his

job and this was a sequence that didn't get into the series but it did get into the clip. very. regularly it's been 5 years. started since the demand globally for german series has grown exponentially how do you explain that well for a very long time german t.v. series had an awful reputation. because german network is didn't like experience and without any experience it's getting really boring so i have to say that everything is a little absolutely today everything is a little bit different because of the competition with the international serving streaming services and their huge budgets and the german filmmakers now things

wait a minute why should we produce for an international audience and here we are doc is one example for that it's produced by in that flicks they are really not afraid to take a risk with something new and now there is really no way back everyone has to follow and then it's serious like berlin is possible. there is. no other german series has cost so much money but it was worth it and the latest example is now coming out it's. told office 900 beer of blood just the subtitle it's a bit of a family feud set in the early days of the uk told office here in blood and there's rumors that may be on netflix soon we'll have to see how much beer and blood we can get if miley we want to be of a blood. now the face

of queen elizabeth is more than 2 eyes and nose in a mouth it's a symbol of power printed on banknotes from bermuda to britain to new zealand i was a bit sad for her 1st portrait as queen almost 7 decades ago and her way to stifle portrait painter miriam asked fred shows a 94 year old monarch and what the artist calls and are a of. this is how queen elizabeth the 2nd now greets diplomats and guests in the foyer of the british foreign office. the oil painting is the work of artist mary miska fit she met the monarch in person twice once a fucking palace in the heart of the british capital. for the queen in particular i think what's fascinating about painting how is that you're possibly painting. the best known face in the world and actually that's not an easy thing to do you dream

is cafe to spend an hour all together with the queen it was a special honor for their various mothers british have found the spanish painter she's quite a powerful this one person really that's that was my 1st impression and also very quickly cause a sense of something was very grounded very natural and that she was a very very sharp sense of humor very close to the surface all the time which is really lovely. the artist worked on her trip here in her studio in south london it took a total of 7 months to complete from the 1st sketch to the finished painting she painted the face last the biggest challenge and the biggest worries guessing guessing how right and getting the face right and getting a sense the person and off the pose so the face of the queen and. yes and then that feature of the light from the gold which i loved behind her i thought that was stuff that was just picked all clear lovely thing but it also serves that purpose of creating that sensible. around. details and symbolism are an important aspect of

her work the painting by a german renaissance artist inspired her to play several surreal elements like an empty teacup when i was working on the portrait of the queen hogans and pacifistic coming into my mind i suddenly resolved that the tea cup was going to be the place where i was going to put this sort of playful kind of symbolism in the painting. and many other details also can be weighed into this portrait of her mother. burial in a skiff it won the national portrait gallery speech people to the board in 2018 with an angel at my table and found new friends in government is the reason effectively why was crucial to paint a portrait of the queen but i think also the fact that it's a portrait of of an elderly woman painted we sort of dignity and respect i think made him feel comfortable and safe that i was the right person for the 94 year old monarch inspires artists around the world numerous portraits of the queen have been

made since she was crowned in $953.00 and they traditionally divide people's opinions in july 2020 1000000 is good for its work was officially presented to the queen by a video called with your majesty's commission hearing that it will be a picture of you that is to say. this is an absolute pleasure it is in its own right and then chance to see it and see it in red light and they should look very happy she seemed to be smiling from ear to ear and she looked very relaxed and i think the general consensus was that she would like to portray it so so you know that was lovely. the room as if it will never forget this very special commission all the moments she spent with the queen and. music fans in france and around the world
