Filmography (selection)

Literary processing

In Fridolin Schley's autobiographical story, Schöner Ball (published in Swimming Pool Summer , Verlag CH Beck 2003), Schley's nameless literary alter ego describes the final of the Gautingen Junior Tennis Championships from around 1992. Schley's figure wins the decisive game against Florian Gallenberger, but is consumed at the same time after Gallenberger's handsome, generous friend Martina.
