Rowboat's "The End of Lies" Began Filming

Principal photography began on Novmeber 10th for our new TV movie "The End of Lies", a drama about two rival sisters for the German and Austrian networks MDR and ORF. Starring Katharina Böhm ("Zeit zu Leben", "Ein Dorf schweigt", "Russisch Roulette") and Aglaia Szyszkowitz ("Klimt", "Anna und der Prinz", "Niemand ist eine Insel"), the impressive cast also includes Jochen Horst ("Luther", "Typisch Sophie", "Die Stein"), Tara Fischer ("Nach all den Jahren", "Der Turm"), Hermann Beyer ("Deutschlandspiel", "Novemberkind", "Boxhagener Platz"), and Kai Schumann ("Doctor's Diary", "Tatort Leipzig", "Klimawechsel").

Director Marcus O. Rosenmüller ("Der tote Taucher im Wald", "Bis an die Grenze", "Wunderkinder") also co-wrote the script with Sophia Krapoth ("Riekes Liebe", "Mama kommt!", "Pilgerfahrt nach Padua").

Until their mother's funeral today, Susanne (Katharina Böhm) hasn't seen her free-spirited sister Mia (Aglaia Szyszkowitz) in ages.
The two sisters left Germany 15 years ago and together went to Australia to study. Not long afterwards, Susanne's daughter Jenny (Tara Fischer) was born, and together they returned to their small hometown in East Germany, leaving Mia.
Susanne married Jenny's father Georg (Jochen Horst) and joined the family business, a watch manufacturer, while Mia stayed in Australia and began a high-powered career in marketing. Mia's arrival at the cemetery and reception puts Susanne at unease.
Not only does Mia easily charm father Herbert (Hermann Beyer) into making plans for heavily investing in a new product line, she also interferes in Susanne's family life, ganging up with pubescent Jenny against Susanne, undermining Susanne's authority and flirting with Georg.
Susanne's looming fears soon become certainty when it turns out Mia intends to stay, breaking a pact they made years ago.
A fight ensues when both sisters stake their claim... for a life only one of them can live. 

"The End of Lies" is a production commissioned by MDR and ORF.
Sam Davis acts as executive producer, commissioning editors are Jana Brandt (MDR) and Katharina Schenk (ORF).
Principal photography continues until mid-December in Wolkenstein and surroundings, as well as Leipzig.
