A fresh start. Everything back to zero. A re-start. Is that even possible? Lena König is a life-loving student who lives her life just the way she pleases. After all, you only get one! After four years in London she returns to her home village on the Rhine, to her mum. The long-awaited reunion seems perfect, were it not for one particular part of those last years that she had kept to herself. We all have our little and our big secrets, after all… And there is no shortage of secrets in the Catholic town of Läuterberg — starting with the priest (Daniel Donskoy), who in fact isn't one at all: "Sankt Maik". SANKT MAIK is a new RTL series by UFA Fiction, and the e-casting Laura Maria Heid had to do for it was, let's say, special… and so, too, was the entire shooting experience. A team pulling together, up for it, knowing that this isn't mainstream being produced here, a team that sometimes ends up on the floor laughing and never loses its sense of humour despite very long days. They took a few risks, and not only with the casting but also with the storylines. Let yourselves be surprised from January 2016 onwards and look forward to a world full of mischief, to wild and unexpected scenarios, but also to genuinely moving moments that give you goosebumps.Director: Andreas Menck // Casting: Die Besetzer
