Filming for the new ZDF television film is currently underway in Hamburg and the surrounding area "Anke and Mrs Dobertin" (working title). Directed by Sophie Averkampthe story was written by Elke Schuch. The film tells the story of two women who search for self-determination and freedom in different ways, leaving old patterns and expectations behind them.

At the centre Nurse Anke (played by Tamara Romera Ginès). When she defends herself against an assaulting patient, her life is thrown off course: the man, who happens to be Hamburg's health senator, dies shortly afterwards. In order to avoid arrest, Anke flees in an ambulance - without realising that the slightly injured senior citizen is in danger. Luise Dobertin (Ulrike Kriener) is located on the cargo bed.

Luise offers Anke her car to escape on the condition that she takes her to Switzerland, where she wants to make use of euthanasia. Anke superficially agrees, but decides to go with Luise to her daughter's house. Hannah (Katrin Röver) to the North Sea. The spontaneous escape turns into a road trip that leads both women on a journey to themselves.

Other roles include Anton von Lucke, Idil Üner, Christoph Letkowski, Simon Pearce, Katya Molchanova, Tanju Bilir, Katrin Pollitt, Albrecht Ganskopf, Christine Wilhelmi and others.

"Anke and Mrs Dobertin" is a production of the NORDFILM GmbH on behalf of the ZDF. Producer is Wiebke Andresen, Martina Lebküchner acts as producer. Editorial responsibility at ZDF lies with Anja Helmling-Grob. Filming will continue until 23 October.
