LODirector Christian Petzold wrote Undine specifically for Paula Beer and Franz Rogowski after seeing their incredible chemistry in a previous project. He was so amazed by how well they connected on screen that he decided to build a modern fairy tale entirely around them. This deep bond is exactly why their emotional scenes feel so intense and real to the audience. They did not just act out a script but brought a genuine friendship and trust to the set. That background makes every single glance and hug on camera feel incredibly powerful and captivating.
To make her character even more authentic Paula Beer had to pull off a massive challenge behind the scenes. She plays a historian and instead of just pretending she actually memorized highly complex and real architectural lectures about the urban development of Berlin. She delivered these massive presentations live on set without using any cheat sheets or cuts. The crew was genuinely impressed by her ability to speak like a real expert. Her dedication brought a super realistic edge to the movie balancing out the fantasy elements with pure facts and raw talent.
