Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Silvia Seidel was a trained ballerina before acting; the TV series made her a teen star in Germany, though she tragically died by suicide in 2012.
This film rode the wave of 1980s ballet mania that started with Fame and continued through Flashdance—Germany's wholesome answer to grittier American versions.
