When Mia dubs an anime superhero, she dives deeper and deeper into this world – and escapes her reality…

Everyone remembers her: the first love. We often think of it full of romance and nostalgia. But can you revive your first love? Or is there an expiration date for feelings?
The shooting of the romantic comedy “Wahre Liebe kommt ganz leise” (AT), directed by André Erkau, began in Dömitz on 13 November. Besides Kostja Ullmann Kim Riedle, Johannes Allmayer, Julia Hartmann and others will play. The film will be shot until mid-December in Dömitz and Hamburg.

The toy salesman and nostalgic Jakob (Kostja Ullmann), who is still devoted to his childhood love Marie (Julia Hartmann), meets her again after years. Due to a misunderstanding, Marie believes that Jakob is now a successful photographer. Since Jakob, who is anything but successful, notices that Marie is now beginning to see him with different eyes, he does not clear up the error. And faster than Jakob can say “white lie”, he finds himself in a net of half-truths and untruths. With the female expertise of his self-confident colleague Lotte (Kim Riedle), Jakob creates a past that portrays him more successfully and more maturely than he actually is. They still get active support from Jakob’s best friend (Johannes Allmayer). But the closer Jakob gets to his goal of winning Marie back, the more he moves away from what really makes him special. And worse! Jacob distances himself from the people who like and love him as he really is.

“Wahre Liebe kommt ganz leise” (AT) is a production by Wüste Medien GmbH on behalf of ARD Degeto for Das Erste. Producers are Björn Vosgerau and Uwe Kolbe. The script was written by André Erkau, who also directs it. Carolin Haasis (ARD Degeto) is the commissioning editor.

The citizens of the Neugraben district of Hamburg have been suffering from a series of burglaries for a long time. They live in fear, although the special commission against organized burglary gangs, for which the inspectors Thorsten Falke and Julia Grosz are also active, has been set up. When a young man is shot dead in a burglary attempt by the owner of a detached house, the case seems clear: the burglar had a gun with him and the local resident acted in self-defence. But Falke and Grosz have a bad feeling, because the burglar’s weapon turns out to be a dummy. In addition, there seems to have been an accomplice on the scene who is now on the run. There is a race against time between upset citizens and the inspectors who are trying to bring the truth to light…

In accompaniment to Wotan Wilke Möhring and Franziska Weisz will be Andreas Lust (Bernd Kranzbühler), Jörg Pose (Dieter Kranzbühler), Sascha Nathan (Siggi Reimers), Michelle Barthels (Maja Kristeva) and Levin Liam (Torben Falke).

After a truck driver got shot, Thorsten Falke and Julia Grosz investigate around the haulage-company. Was it a mentally ill individual or a lager dispute between truckers? During their investigation Falke and Grosz try to break a wall of secrecy. While they more and more assume it’s about extortion, the sniper acts again….

Acting alongside Wotan Wilke Möhring and Franziska Weisz are Milan Peschel, Levin Liam, Charlotte Lorenzen and Oana Solomon among others.
