Drawing parallels to the Relotius counterfeiting scandal at the "Spiegel" is reflexive, but it is permissible. It is true that the filmmaker Lehrenkrauss did some intensive research in the scene about the “love mobile” on Landstrasse and dealt with the fate of women. While the reporter actor Relotius moved in a lot of countries and occupied himself with different things that didn't seem to mean much to him in and of themselves. A concern that Lehrenkrauss claims for itself will probably not be found at Relotius - apart from the possibly compulsive need to tell a very believable story that is more real than real life.
Fake documentary: The NDR and the muddling in the "Lovemobil"

Scandal about a documentary film: "Lovemobil", an award-winning NDR report from the red-light district on a country road in Lower Saxony, consists of scenes that were shot with actors. Is this a new case of Relotius - or is it particularly valuable from an aesthetic point of view?
