Venus in the Fourth House

Saskia (Michelle Monballijn) is a stuntwoman well used to physical strain, but this summer she has to push the threshold of physical pain even higher in order to stop feeling the emotional pain — because her boyfriend has died. At the survival camp she meets Gitti (Adele Neuhauser), who has also lost her husband (Walter Sittler), though he left her for a beautiful Italian woman (Rosetta Pedone). And so the two women have a fair amount in common and can give each other support. Michelle may be athletic, but the role still demanded a great deal of her, and she courageously rose to the challenge of overcoming her fear of heights. She climbed a rope bridge at a dizzying height entirely on her own — because anyone playing a stuntwoman does not let herself be doubled.Venus im vierten Haus****Director: Sebastian GroblerProduction: Saxonia Media for ZDF
