Overview
- ZDF will broadcast “Das Traumschiff: Afrika: Madikwe” on January 1 at 20:15, and the episode is already available to stream, according to dpa reports.
- Florian Silbereisen says the production rushed the kiss into a late‑night reshoot after the day had wrapped because worsening weather was feared.
- He recalls the team initially could not find Valentina Pahde, who cut short a massage before being brought to set for the scene.
- Both actors emphasize the moment was tightly choreographed and performed before roughly 30 crew members, highlighting the technical nature of filming intimacy.
- Valentina Pahde rates Silbereisen “10 out of 10” for professionalism; the pair first met in Johannesburg, exchanged numbers during the shoot, and remain in contact.
