The supposed documentary “Lovemobil” by Elke Lehrenkrauss was exposed as a production this week.

After the film, which ran briefly in the cinema and was shown on television at the end of last year by the NDR, which co-financed it.

Now the question arises how the film was able to win at festivals, even win the German Documentary Film Award - and nobody noticed that the people in the film are not “real” at all.

We talk to David Bernet, himself a documentary filmmaker and, together with Susanne Binninger, board member of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Dokumentarfilmer (AG Dok).

Bernet classifies the incident and explains what director Lehrenkrauss missed.

And says what consequences the case could have for the documentary filmmaking industry.
