Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This reboots the infamous 1981 film and real Christiane F. memoir, but swaps 1970s heroin chic for contemporary Berlin club culture—making it feel unsettlingly now.
Creator Annette Hess deliberately aged the characters down from the original; these kids are 14-15, not 16-17, which makes every parental absence hit harder.
