In "Sieben Sommersprossen und andere Erinnerungen" book, Kareen Schröter revealed that someone from the film team came to her house to ask her parents if they had anything against her undressing in the movie. 'So we are not prudes. Aren't we, mom ? That's their business', the 14-year-old girl said to get permission. So she could film the uninhibited sequence in which the two young lovers frolic naked in a field. "I acted quite relaxed. I had deliberately forgotten how he draws a heart on her chest with his finger. No one has ever done that to me. Touched, yes, but not naked, and there's a big difference between dressed and undressed kissing. But that was just supposed to be a game. Also: I really liked this last Romeo, tall, with black curls, " Schröter recalled.
Kareen Schröter was 14 at the time of filming.
Herrmann Zschoche hired some of the Actors and Actress from this film also for his next Movie: Und nächstes Jahr am Balaton.
Young people who played the main roles were found by director Herrmann Zschoche himself. In Zschoche's book "Sieben Sommersprossen und andere Erinnerungen," Kareen Schröter (who played Karoline in the film) talks about her first meeting with him: "He crept across our schoolyard (...) Meanwhile he stood in front of us, stared at me and wanted to know name and class. (...) Would you like to do a test recording?"
Kareen Schröter filming debut. The same about Steffi Kühnert.
