Liv Lisa Fries bikes to the café in a quiet corner of Berlin-Neukölln. The actress, known from the series “Babylon Berlin”, is dressed all in black – flat shoes, pants, a missing button on the shirt has been replaced with a safety pin. She’s been wearing her hair short lately. It’s muggy, there’s ice tea, there’s a school next door – during the interview, serious-looking children keep passing by on scooters.
