“THE SAME SKY” JOINS THE LINE-UP OF WORLD PREMIERE TV SCREENINGS AT MIPCOM 2016BETA FILM/UFA FICTION TO SHOWCASE BERLIN COLD WAR FAMILY DRAMA
“The Same Sky,” a multi-layered family drama set in the divided Berlin of the 1970s, joins the prestigious line-up of MIPCOM 2016 World Premiere TV Screenings. The World Premiere TV Screening for “The Same Sky” is scheduled for Monday 17 October in the Palais des Festivals at 6:30 pm.
“The Same Sky” is directed by Academy Award-nominated Oliver Hirschbiegel (“Billions”, “Downfall”), and was created and written by multi-award winning British screenwriter Paula Milne (“The Politician’s Wife”, “The Virgin Queen”, “Endgame”). The six hour series stars Tom Schilling (“Generation War”), Sofia Helin (“The Bridge”), Friederike Becht (“The Reader”) and Ben Becker (“Comedian Harmonists”).
“The Same Sky” centers around the relationship between an East German agent and his target in the West, the woman he has to seduce for the sake of his country – a relationship driven by passion but built on deceit. The series recreates the uniquely charged atmosphere in the Cold War city by portraying the fates of two families, one on each side of the wall, in a tale interweaving East German dissidents and informers and West German hustlers and agents, as well as American and British diplomats. Divided by ideology, the only thing the people of Berlin all share is the sky above.
“The Same Sky” is an UFA FICTION / Beta Film production for ZDF in co-production with Mia film in association with Rainmark Films.
