action
The ten-year-old girls Lotte Körner from Frankfurt am Main and Luise Palfy from Salzburg meet in a holiday resort on the Austrian Wolfgangsee . The two look very much like each other.
Luise, who is supposed to learn mathematics in the after-school care center so that she does not slip in high school, impresses the other children with stories that she experienced with her father and his best friend Mo in Africa . Lotte wants to be a musician and is good at math. Both of them hate each other at first, but soon they get together and help each other with surfing, cooking and math. They later discover that they are twins and knew nothing of each other and of the other parent.
Soon the two girls decide to switch roles. They tell each other about their lives so that Luise as Lotte can go to her mother Charlize in Frankfurt am Main and Lotte as Luise to her father Jan in Salzburg. They want to teach their parents that they want to be together. Both are still exchanging their smartphones so that they can help each other in an emergency.
Despite the girls' different abilities and character traits, adults are initially fooled. Only Mos's dog Pepperl can immediately tell the two apart. Both unsuccessfully seek answers from the respective parent about how the separation came about. Together they consider how they can sabotage the developing relationship between Jan and the theater director Leni Gerlach, because Luise had noticed that her mother had been following the activities of Jan and his band on his website for years.
The game of confusion is revealed when Luise tries to bake a cake and her grandmother Ama notices that the girl suddenly can't bake anymore. Charlize and Luise call Jan, who is at the sick Lotte, and explain to him about the role reversal. Then Luise and Charlize fly to Salzburg to be with the other two.
At dinner together, Charlize suggests that Lotte find an apartment in Salzburg and go to work from there over the Internet. Everyone agrees with this. After the twins have left the room and pretend to go to bed, they watch as Jan and Charlize slowly get closer.
In the final scene, the voice of Grandmother Ama comments that the two sisters have found each other, regardless of what eventually became of their parents.
background
The producer Uschi Reich , a Kästner connoisseur, wanted to shoot the film a few years earlier, but then the film Charlie & Louise - Das doppelte Lottchen by Joseph Vilsmaier came into the cinemas. So the producer waited a while until the material could flow into current topics again. The director Franziska Buch was made the offer to direct, but this had to be canceled due to family problems. Thus, Lancelot got into conversation with Naso , who had previously made the armistice and the Frankfurt crime series Kommissar Marthaler . For von Naso, who had previously made short films in the comedy genre, it was the first film he did not write the script and his debut in a children's and comedy film.
Most of the shooting took place in Salzburg from the end of June to the end of July 2016 . However, recordings were also made in Frankfurt am Main and in the Dahner Felsenland and took 26 days of shooting. The broadcaster SWR took over the production with the editors Margret Schepers and Stephanie von Ehrenstein.
The film celebrated its television premiere on April 16, 2017 in the Easter program of the First .

Reviews
Simon Strauss from the FAZ said: “It is unimaginative to just position the old against the new. But if this wonderful Kästner story is told to you so brilliantly, without any emotion, then you can't avoid it. ”“ The few Kästner sentences and utensils that made it over, the umbrella, the rowing boat, the dog 'Pepperl' and the 'modest wishes that cannot be fulfilled' lead sad marginal existences in a long-winded attempt at adaptation. "
Nikolaus Festenberg rated the Tagesspiegel as follows: “The latest Lottchen version reflects this actually wonderful gain in freedom ([the children's self-liberation from the parents' lie]) - without falling into profundity - consciously of the body and movement. The language is not the strength of the twin actors, the glimpses into the spiritual abyss in the clever parent-switch-actions with intensive smartphone use are rare, as it corresponds to our time. That fits with the current constitutional optimism to include the rights of children in the Basic Law. "
Tilmann P. Gangloff from Tittelbach.tv judged: “The television film produced by Kästner specialist Uschi Reich skilfully transfers the plot into the new millennium, but can remain true to the story because the novel was way ahead of its time. The young actresses of the girls are splendid, but the bigger surprise is possibly the director: After four "Kommissar Marthaler" thrillers, Naso's Lancelot has made a radical change of genre. "
