From the German Academy of Television’s statement regarding Deborah Kaufmann’s DAfFNE nomination in the Supporting Actress category for the project *Marzahn Mon Amour*: Deborah Kaufmann plays this character with such love, quirkiness, and dedication that we simply have to love her. Her rough Berlin manner cracks when her loyalty is called into question. In every moment, she reveals the fissures and the history of her character—elements that the script does not explain or put into words. With a brash, direct style, she masterfully balances comedy and tragedy. Through her open, expressive performance, she lends depth to a character who might otherwise often be reduced to clichés.
