Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2008 German TV movie sits squarely in the era of 'chick flicks' where body transformation narratives were packaged as empowerment—think 'The Devil Wears Prada' but with hypnosis instead of montages.
Director Thomas Nennstiel built his career on German television rom-coms; this was one of three TV movies he released in 2008 alone, all following similar 'ordinary woman, extraordinary situation' formulas.
