Includes brief references to almost all of Alexander Tuschinski's films until 2014.
Filmed with one single camera.
Philipp Metzler was originally supposed to play only the student during the picnic-scene. As Alexander Tuschinski liked Metzler's acting during that scene very much, he decided to merge a few separate characters in later scenes into one single character, expanding the student's originally supporting role into one of the main characters.
As with most of Tuschinski's films, both Matthias Kirste and Alexander Tuschinski receive credit as cinematographer. When Tuschinski acts, Kirste operates the camera - and when Tuschinski doesn't appear in the shot, he operates the camera himself.
