"Ku´damm 59" UFA FICTION ZDF

Ku’damm 59 (original title)

UFA FICTION GmbH • Series & Sequences • ZDF • 18., 19. & 21.03.2018
The UFA FICTION production "Ku'damm 59" is the sequel to the successful three-parter "Ku'damm 56", which depicts the further course of life of Caterina Schöllack and her three daughters - as well as their longings and emancipation in the restrictive era of the 1950s.

Our gripping family saga about the three Schöllack sisters (played by Maria Ehrich, Emilia Schüle and Sonja Gerhardt) continues! The plot of “Ku’damm 59” begins three years after the Galant dance school prom. Even in 1959, social conventions have not yet changed. Although rock’n’roll has become socially acceptable in a Germanized form, illegitimate children, sex before marriage, homosexuality and emancipation are still taboo subjects. In these unfree times, both the Schöllack sisters and their mother Caterina, as well as the male protagonists, continue to search for their personal and interrelated happiness. At the heart of “Ku’damm 59” is the question of what it means to be an adult and what it means to take responsibility for one’s own actions.

Annette Hess, author: “Rarely have characters and a historical period come so close to me while writing as with ‘Ku’damm 56’. In addition, there was the great realization of all the trades, the inspiring, happy collaboration with ZDF, with UFA, with the actors and with the director Sven Bohse. Ku’damm 56′ received an overwhelming response from viewers. The subject of emancipation has touched a still intact, highly sensitive social nerve. I am all the more pleased to be able to continue working on this project, which is so important to me, in the wonderfully proven constellation with all the committed participants.”

Benjamin Benedict, producer and managing director of UFA Fiction: “The continuing enthusiastic response shows us that our joint concept of finally focusing on the 1950s in Germany as a fascinating and hitherto surprisingly little-told period and – another first – telling the story from the women’s perspective has worked. […] Annette Hess picks up the threads of the first three parts and weaves them into a gripping sequel that tells the story of the Schöllack family in an exciting and highly emotional way.”
