The two-part film by RBB, WDR and ARD Degeto – a total of three hours – shows the years of the publicist, who is still controversial to this day, up to the founding of the magazine “Emma”. “Alice” is to be seen on November 30th from 8:15 p.m. on the first, according to the ARD program planning. Both parts will be available (“online first”) from November 23 in the ARD media library.
The actress Nina Gummich (“Charité”, “Unterleuten”) can be seen in the leading role. Sarah Chaumette embodies the feminist Simone de Beauvoir, Charlie Nelson the philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre and Sven Eric Bechtolf the publisher Henri Nannen (“Stern”). It was shot in Paris, Cologne, but also in Berlin, Bonn and Wuppertal.
