Whatever happened to most of the cast in that movie?

I know that Natja Brunckhorst, who played Christiane, went on to continue acting in other films. And I read that the guy who played Axel eventually became a music producer.

But what happened to the rest of the cast? Anyone have any idea? On IMDB, I don't see any other credits whatsoever for most of the other actors, like the ones who played Detlef or Bernd, for example.

I know that just about the whole cast of the movie were amateurs and non-actors. But surely they could have used that movie as a vehicle to move on to an acting career, like Brunckhorst did. Did ALL of them just vanish back into their everyday lives? And if so, what are they doing now?

Thomas Haustein (Detlef) wasn't comfortable in the public eye, or with acting. He went missing from public until recently. Today he is actually a drug counseller in Berlin.

I always wondered the same thing. Especially I wonder about the girl who played Babsi! I wish we had some information about them, they were all really good.

The acting was often terrible so that figures actually.

You think so? I feel that Natja Brunckhorst was great in this. So was Thomas Haustein - I heard that he was uninterested in fame after this film, so that's why he never bothered with acting again.
