About Die Drachenprinzessin
Fairytale teleplay based on the fairytale "The Water of Life" by the Brothers Grimm. The wizard, ruler of the black forest, can be defeated if someone manages to draw water from the spring containing the water of life. The princess sets off to find the water of life for her terminally ill father. The sorcerer transforms the girl into a dragon. A fairy gives the king new courage to face life. He defends himself against the sorcerer. He is supported by the blacksmith, who takes up the fight and defeats the wizard.
Directed by Karola Hattop, Die Drachenprinzessin leans on a strong ensemble — Friederike Aust, Volkmar Kleinert, Jörg Panknin — 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 fantasy titles of 1980.
