Everyone lies in the World War I series “Davos 1917.” Mostly because they have to.
“You have war, you have the elite coming together in this one place. You have to watch your step and tread carefully. Everything could be a trap,” says Jan-Eric Mack, who directed alongside Christian Theede and Anca Miruna Lazarescu.
The show focuses on a young nurse Johanna who finds herself surrounded by spies in the Swiss resort town. Desperate to reunite with her illegitimate daughter, she discovers she has a talent for espionage, too.
“I think she always had these skills. She just couldn’t show them in the house she grew up in,” says lead actor Dominique Devenport, also known for “Sisi.”
“She has always been different. And then, suddenly, she gets an opportunity to develop talents she didn’t even know she had. That’s why it’s happening so quickly, in a way.

World War I spy drama “Davos 1917” was inspired by real stories, says head writer and creative producer Adrian Illien. As well as real women.
“There were all these Swiss nurses who would go abroad during the war. When you read their diaries, there is a sense of adventure. They could finally get away. I don’t think these female characters have been portrayed before. Until now.”
In the six-part show, unmarried nurse Johanna Gabathuler (“Sisi” star Dominique Devenport) gives birth to her daughter. When the child is taken away, Johanna finds herself stuck in the resort town of Davos. But soon, the German secret service comes knocking.
“Women actually held prominent positions there. With my co-writers [Julia Penner, Thomas Hess and Michael Sauter] we stumbled across one who was a handler of Mata Hari. We always talk about Mata Hari, but I found the spy behind her much more interesting,...

Bent Hamer’s latest feature film 1001 Grams will be the opening film tonight for Lübeck’s Nordic Film Days (Oct 29 – Nov 2), which has a programme of 172 films screening from the North and North-East of Europe.
