portrait series | 10 min | 2021
a new kind of portrait series by Netflix DACH showcasing the actors and filmmakers behind Netflix originals. The first portrait series that spans different genres, each episode unique in rhythm and style. All united by one common goal: bringing each protagonist’s uniqueness to life on screen.
In the first episode we portrait the actor Maximilian Mundt and his approach to masculinity. We follow him on his journey to becoming a mermate, challenging gender stereotypes.
