About Sagenhaftes vom Petermännchen
Every hundred years, the Petermännchen has the chance to be released from his enchantment. This time everything seems to go well. The story tells how he manages to free a wrongly suspected servant from prison and expose a member of the court household as a thief. However, the Petermännchen remains condemned to continue his mischief as a household ghost. Based on a legend from Mecklenburg.
Directed by Karl-Heinz Bahls, Sagenhaftes vom Petermännchen leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Bause, Victor Deiß, Christoph Engel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1986.
