"Das glaubt mir keiner" - a personal look behind the screen — Weißes Haus Markkleeberg, Markkleeberg

For decades she was a familiar voice and a well-known face in living rooms across Germany. But what happened when the red camera light went out?

Cornelia Nossek - known to many as the chief presenter of MDR and a face of GDR television - takes the audience on a journey through German broadcasting history. She reveals why a GDR garage became a photo studio for a Hamburg celebrity photographer, how to hold your ground when meeting politicians, and why certain studio situations took on a life of their own.

With self-deprecating humour and a sharp eye, she recounts moments of glamour and improvisation, minor mishaps and major milestones. Her voice is recorded in the compendium "Sound der Zeit" - a permanent place in the history of sound. An evening of archive gems, Saxon warmth - and one very unexpected rescue from beneath a rhododendron bush.
