Last week, the film industry met again in Cologne to take a look at the highlights of the coming months at the film fair. Among them was the MMC production "Der Pfau", presented by director Lutz Heineking, jr. and actress Annette Frier. In addition to whimsical anecdotes from the shoot, the professional audience was treated to the first images from the top-notch theatrical adaptation of Isabel Bogdan's bestseller, which opens in German theaters in spring 2023.
