"Oskar's Dress": Florian David Fitz: First idea for film from magazine

According to actor Florian David Fitz (48), the first inspiration for the family comedy "Oskar's Dress" was a picture in the feminist magazine "Emma". “I leaf through them at breakfast and come across a picture. I thought to myself: “That would actually be a great ending for a film,” said the actor (“100 Things”) in the latest podcast episode from "Hotel Matze" on Wednesday. In the picture, the son and father were photographed from behind - both wearing a dress, as Fitz described.

The screenplay for the film (theatrical release December 22) was written by Fitz, who is also the main actor, together with the award-winning director Hüseyin Tabak ("Gipsy Queen"). It is about the change in attitude towards transsexuality of divorced police officer Ben (Fitz). He is Oskar's father and when he sees his son he finds one sentence above all for his incredulous horror: "The dress is going away - basta!" When he visits a child psychologist, he doesn't even want to hear his diagnosis - "I think it's possible that your son is a girl".

Fitz didn't even want to read the article under the picture in the magazine at first, so as not to be influenced, he said. "I didn't want to make the hundredth TV film about it, which only deals with the inner world, but also to say: 'What are the parents doing?'".
