Merry Christmas! In the ZDF film “Christmas Daughters”, which will be broadcast on December 14th, 2020, instead of a peaceful and merry Christmas, there is a threat of a festival at which the dirty family laundry is washed. Because in mid-December, the father, large baker Johann König (Peter Lerchbaumer), had a fatal accident.

Now the three sisters Diana (Felicitas Woll), Katarina (Elena Uhlig) and Regina (Gesine Cukrowski) meet in the father’s house to clarify: who gets what, who is broke, who has always disliked whom, who does not reveal which secret, and who stole mother’s brooch? And that for the festival of love! In addition, the employees of the father’s large bakery rebel, who fear the sale of the company. Thomas, the old man’s attorney and estate administrator, tries to untangle the tangled threads of fate.
we have with Tim Bergmann, who plays the role of Thomas, talked about Christmas, the year 2020 in general and the film “Christmas Daughters” in particular.
Mr. Bergmann, what is your day-to-day work like at the moment? I imagine home office to be quite difficult for actors ?!
2020 is of course a very challenging year. I’ve been doing my job since 1994, and I’ve never experienced a year like this in terms of work. For example, all scheduled readings could not take place and shoots were postponed or canceled. Fortunately, I will start shooting one film this week and then there will have been 2 productions this year. Fortunately, I personally have an intact private life and thus a place where I don’t fall into a big hole, given all the free time I now had to do.

The film “Christmas Daughters” will be shown on ZDF on December 14th. What attracted you to the project?
Certainly an important point is that I actually took my first big step with Rolf Silber. That was the 1995 film “Echte Kerle”, which was released in 1996. That was a very special job, and for me an extremely important entry into the profession. Over the years this collaboration has turned into a friendship. In addition, the “Christmas comedy” genre had escaped me until then. And so you read the script with excitement, find out who else is playing, and then inevitably, and with great anticipation, you are accepted. Also because Thomas is a character who has something nerdy, often overwhelmed, which is of course wonderful.
The film “Christmas Daughters” is of course a lot about the Christmas season. What do you associate with it?
Christmas is definitely a challenge every year, because the Christmas season actually begins in October at the latest when you look into the shops. That can be a bit annoying. (He laughs) If I manage to hold back the anticipation until December, fortunately I am very flexible when it comes to the organization of Christmas. I’m really not a big Christmas fetishist, but it can be a wonderful and great celebration. Then, as usual, it is up to the people who come together. Regardless of how big the tree is, whether there is one at all, whether there is a Christmas goose and so on. All of this is then irrelevant and becomes a minor matter.
Which Christmas present did you look forward to the most as a child?
I haven’t thought about that for a long time, but I still remember that there was a Christmas when my brother and I both got a pair of roller skates. For the first time. We then chased through the neighborhood with our roller skates for the entire Christmas holidays and played roller-skate hockey like madmen. Unforgettable! But what I was also very happy about was when my brother and I played a small, self-made play with marionettes to my parents. We also put together the set. My parents were of course very happy and it was immediately noticeable that a gift of this kind is more valuable and sustainable than something material.
