Cornelia Gröschel has been playing in the “crime scene” in Dresden since 2019. On Sunday evening she can now be seen in a completely different role. The 37-year-old gives ZDF passion.
This Sunday the ZDF is taking something new. After the “Rosamunde Pilcher” films have been reliably shown for 32 years, the station now relies on an erotic series. The film “Fating Passion Sylt” is the beginning.
This is new territory for Cornelia Gröschel. For six years she has been playing the chief crime commissioner Leonie Winkler in the Dresden “Tatort”. Erotic is rather less. Unlike in her new role as Nina Richter. It crackles between her and Daniel Bernansconi, who is played by Artjom Gilz. The fact that the 38-year-old got this role is also due to Gröschel, as she now reveals in an interview with “Bild am Sonntag”.
“There was a so -called constellation casting,” she explains. “I was set as Nina and only men were invited to the casting.” Then it was taken care of whether the chemistry between the two main actors would be right. “At Artjom I noticed immediately, so I trusted that he can touch me on the set. That was very important,” emphasizes Gröschel.
There was probably no trace of passion on the set of passion. On the contrary: the erotic scenes were discussed in advance and more like a “kind of choreography that reminds of dancing”. “You can either define exactly, the hand now goes to the neck and then to the chest, or you say, okay, these are the zones that can be touched and we move within this frame.” Gilz and Gröschel chose the latter procedure.
In general, the actress on the set felt very comfortable. Not least because there has been intimacy coordination when turning sex scenes since the metoo debate. “That gave me confidence that I don’t run the risk of experiencing a traumatic experience on the set,” she says. There were many conversations that they often sat together and talked about personal no-gos, that is what you don’t want to do. The result runs on April 13 from 8:15 p.m. on ZDF and can then be called up in the ZDF media library.
