In Maggie Peren's "The Forger," based on the incredible true story of Cioma Schönhaus, Gummich takes on the role of Frau Peters, Cioma's landlady. While details about her character's specific arc are limited in the current promotional material, her presence in the film alongside Louis Hofmann (Dark) and Luna Wedler promises a compelling performance within the tense backdrop of 1940s Berlin. The film depicts Schönhaus's daring and skillful forgery of identity documents to save hundreds of Jews from the Nazis.
