The happiness in this world... 'Forbidden Love' on the racetrack
We from Forbidden Love are at the racetrack in Cologne today.
And we'll shoot the big race today, or rather, it's not the big race, but... tell us what it is?
This is the best practice run of Dionysos. - With?
The best one he's ever had. With Dana Wolf. [Christoph Mory and Thore Schölermann wait for Diane Willems]
And there she is. Our star; our little jockey. [Christoph Mory and Thore Schölermann wait for Diane Willems]
Hello! Oh no, 'jockette'. Come over here! - Jockette.
Here. The size... - Hello! - The size is right.
[Meeting with director Thomas Hermann]
Today we're shooting at the racetrack in Cologne.
This is our Enzo. [Horse trainer Ines Fay and Enzo are looking forward to the day of shooting]
That's his name in real life. On the show it's Dionysos.
He's a real racehorse.
He's successfully run races here in the past. Of course, he will remember that today.
And Diane, Dana, will do...
...a practice run in the story.
Yeah, and I'm happy that you're coming with us.
This is the way to cozy up to your acting colleagues.
Unfortunately, that never works with Jo, but... [Thore Schölermann bribes his animal friend]
... here it works perfectly. Mh? Now you like me. [Thore Schölermann bribes his animal friend]
And now we'll have the famous kiss. - Yeah, exactly. - The film kiss.
Very wet.... Just like Jo.
You have to have a good relationship with your horse.
It has to trust the trainer because it's a flight animal.
And here we often have things that you don't have in an ordinary horse life. [Ines Fay trains horses for television]
Like cameras, or big shields, or to seal something off,
or cables lying on the ground.
Being a flight animal, the horse thinks "Oh, there's a snake. I'd rather leave." Usually at a gallop.
So, we have to keep an eye on these things. And practice, practice, practice.
Action!
The special challenge in shooting with horses is
that I've actually had zero contact with them in my life. [Diane Willems is no 'horse girl']
Well, I've done some riding for another movie.
I took lessons then.
For some time now, I've been taking lessons again.
I'm extremely nervous before filming a scene with horses.
That's a bit weird sometimes, but it's still fun.
So, now they're taking away my gloves
because my double, Lisa,
will go on the racetrack with Enzo, the horse playing Dionysos.
She will race up and down the 2 km now, and we will film her doing it.
And afterwards it will look as if it was me.
Yeah, look. Oh, that's... - There, that's me.
Look, there's the double.
[Stunt double Lisa knows how to tame Enzo]
[... now it's getting fast]
Well, I'm very excited.
We've just had the highlight of our day of shooting.
Enzo is very exhausted now. The rider, too, I think.
It's exhausting, even if it looks so easy.
I think tonight we'll all fall into bed, tired and content.
[And when things with the real horse don't work out...]
Only 2000 meters!
