Diverse Offerings from ZDF

MAINZ: ZDF Enterprises has lined up fiction and documentary titles to offer international buyers heading to Cannes, among them Busting the Berlin Wall.

The 2×52-minute title coincides with the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Also commemorating an anniversary, Stauffenberg: The True Story comes alongside the 70th year since the start of World War II.

On the fiction slate, Sweden’s Verdict Revised features Mikael Persbrandt (Beck) as a charismatic and brilliant lawyer who’s also a tormented and cynical human being. He and his law students take on the cases of convicted felons who claim that they’re innocent. The romances of the Bastei Collection have been translated into 15 languages and boasted sales of more than 40 millions copies in Europe alone.
