Synopsis

[edit]

After Felix (Ken Duken) had a car accident he is left bedridden with a complicated leg fracture. His sole window to the outside world becomes his laptop. Via his social network he stays in contact with his best friend Tom (Friedrich Mücke) and gets in touch with his old high-school crush Julia (Friederike Kempter). Then there is the mysterious girl Vanessa (Emilia Schüle) and Felix' parents, Gisela (Gisela Schneeberger) and Gerd (Dieter Hollinder), who he only has contact to through video chat.

Production

[edit]

After the announcement of the first television series by Turner Broadcasting System in Germany, the production could win actor Ken Duken, who's internationally known for his performance in Inglourious Basterds and started filming a 10-episode season in January 2012.[3] The production ended after almost two months at the end of February.
