Holly Jones Following the international acclaim of “Babylon Berlin,” XFilme Creative Pool, in partnership with Beta Film, debuted excerpts from its newest drama series, “House of Promises,” scoring on Sunday MipDrama’s  prestigious Buyers’ Coup de Couer Award.The 12-part drama, directed by the reputed Sherry Hormann (“Desert Flower”) and Umut Dag (“Vienna Blood”) for bullishly growing SVOD service RTL Plus, centers on its female protagonists, giving breath to their histories and the tide-shift taking place in the ‘20s that allowed them to chase their passions and ambitions fiercely.“House of Promises” is the female perspective of the Golden 20s.

The center of our series isn’t only a love story, it’s about love on all levels. Romantic love, love within a family. It’s about the failure of love, about friendship and love between women,” Hormann notes. “Our vision is to dive into daily life at this time.

Telling facts that are hard to imagine today: Women didn’t have the right to rent an apartment unless they were married. Illegality turned into normality.

They shared a small space by sleeping in day and night shifts.Unfolding their attitudes of survival by opposing being a victim.
