At the age of 58, the general practitioner Annebärbel Buschhaus put on her skates again after more than forty years. The notorious loner searches for her childhood dreams on the ice - and finds a friend: Jolina Kuhn, Berlin youth champion in figure skating. Through her she manages to open up and get away from her dominant mother Dr. To solve Irene Hanschke.
On the ice Annebärbel meets her former role model, the only Berlin figure skater with world championship title, Christine Errath . It turns out that the young Christine Errath began her figure skating career on the daughter's runners given away by Annebarbel's mother. The world champion has also gotten older over the years and experiences the hobby of figure skating with the other women as an invigorating leisure activity that can do well and strengthen body, mind and soul even before and during retirement.
production
With the publication of the book “Die Pirouettenkönigin” Christine Stüber-Errath attracted Alexandra Sell's attention, among others . This is how the material for a movie came about, which was ultimately produced with ZDF. Alexandra Sell's feature film debut is a production by Lichtblick Media in Berlin in coproduction with Lichtblick Film , Cine + Filmproduktion, ZDF (Das kleine Fernsehspiel) and ARTE. The feature film is funded by BKM and the Film- und Medienstiftung NRW. The treatment development is funded by the FFA and the script development is funded by the BKM. The film rental company is color film rental.
The start of shooting was originally planned for 2014. However, the project continued to develop: In December 2015, Martin Heisler's film and television production called for crowdfunding. On the Startnext platform , the target of 150,000 euros was targeted for the implementation period from February 29 to April 8, 2016 with a crowdfunding threshold of 50,000 euros. 302 fans supported the achievement of a sum of 20,898 euros in the funding period from December 15, 2015 at 5:01 pm to January 31, 2016 at 11:59 pm.
The extended team included the co-producers Joachim Ortmanns and Helge Neubronner, the creative producer Katrin Schlösser, the editors Christian Cloos and Doris Hepp, the cameraman Kolja Raschke, the dramaturges Martin Dolejs and Heide Schwochow and the film editor Vessela Martschewski . Cassis B. Staudt was responsible for the film music.
On March 2, 2016, filming finally began in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen. Shortly before that, Katrin Sass , who was actually intended for the shooting, had left the project due to disputes. Filming in Berlin and Cologne ended on April 13, 2016.
