About Der Froschkönig
When Isabelle loses her necklace while walking down the street, the attractive Jimi helps her to fish the pendant out of a gully. Jimi falls in love with Isabelle at first sight and wants something from her in return for his help. For four weeks, he doesn't want to leave the pretty daughter of Simeon Herzog's side. But Isabelle doesn't even think about it and simply leaves Jimi. Even the next day, Jimi cannot forget the fateful encounter and visits Isabelle at the castle hotel. Isabelle only gives in to Jimi's pleas at her father's insistence. Together they organize a fundraising gala and realize that they couldn't be more different.
Directed by Jeanette Wagner, Der Froschkönig leans on a strong ensemble — Anuschka Tochtermann, Bernd-Christian Althoff, Heino Ferch — 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 drama titles of 2018.
