Berlin (dpa) - Margarita Broich can be seen briefly side by side with her real-life husband, lawyer Dirk Schmalenbach, in a new ARD comedy.

The background to his sudden acting career is the filming of the comedy "My mother in seventh heaven" under the influence of the Corona crisis.

"My husband had spent the quarantine period with me in Cologne," reported the 60-year-old actress ("Tatort") to the German Press Agency in Berlin.

"One day our director John Delbridge asked me if he could take on a small appearance instead of an extra who would otherwise have had to shut himself in for five days."

The ten-second scene goes like this: She says, “Do you like cookies?

Here - self-baked ».

He replies «thank you».

Broich says: “That's how I meet my husband, actually a lawyer, as chief physician in the film.

So there are also very funny developments in these weird times. "

Schmalenbach does indeed have a doctorate, but as a lawyer.

The Berliner reported on the major security precautions: “At a distance and with a test every other day.

In addition, masks, folding rules and props that were packed like in the operating theater.

And everyone who got closer had to be quarantined for five days and then do another test. "

The film “My mother in seventh heaven” will run on Friday at 8.15 p.m. on Das Erste, the sequel “My mother and suddenly my father” will be on March 12.
