The first novel in the successful Sommerby book series is being made into a film by ARD. The film stars Johanna Gastdorf, Katrin Wichmann, Denis Moschitto and Lotta Herzog.

Filming for the film adaptation of the novel "A Summer in Sommerby", based on the book by Kirsten Boie, has begun in the Hamburg area and on the Schlei. The film stars Johanna Gastdorf, Katrin Wichmann, Denis Moschitto and Lotta Herzog, among others. In "A Summer in Sommerby", the three city kids Martha, Mats and Mikkel don't actually want to go to their strange, gruff grandmother's small thatched house with no transport or telephone connections. But then Martha meets Enes, Mats meets the chickens, Mikkel becomes a hero and Sommerby becomes a place of longing with endless freedom.

A Summer in Sommerby" is produced by Desert Media (producers Björn Vosgerau, Levin Hübner). The programme is edited by Lene Neckel (SWR), Lina Kokaly (Radio Bremen) and Ole Kampovski (NDR). The programme is scheduled to be broadcast on ARD and in the ARD media library in 2025.
