Biography

Née d'un père allemand et d'une mère française, Christine Maria Kaufmann fait très tôt son entrée dans le monde artistique. Elle est ballerine à l'Opéra de Munich et commence sa carrière d'actrice de cinéma à sept ans, en 1952, dans une adaptation de Im weißen Rößl (The White Horse Inn, L'auberge du cheval blanc). Le film qui lui apporte la célébrité en Allemagne est Rosen-Resli, sorti en 1954, alors qu'elle n'a que neuf ans.

En 1963, elle épouse Tony Curtis qu'elle a rencontré pendant le tournage de Tarass Boulba (1962). Ils ont deux filles, Alexandra (née en 1964) et Allegra (née en 1966). Ils divorcent en 1968. Kaufmann reprend sa carrière qu'elle a interrompue pendant son mariage.

Elle devient une vedette internationale quand elle joue aux côtés de Kirk Douglas dans Ville sans pitié (1961).

Kaufmann est aussi une femme d'affaires avisée faisant la promotion de sa propre ligne de produits cosmétiques qui se vend bien en Allemagne. Elle signe plusieurs livres sur la beauté et la santé et écrit aussi deux autobiographies. Elle parle trois langues : l'allemand, l'anglais et le français.

At the Institute for Cybernetics and Future Science ("Institut für Kybernetik und Zukunftsforschung, IKZ"), a new supercomputer hosts a simulation program that includes an artificial world with over 9,000 "identity units" who live as human beings, unaware that their world is just a simulacron. Professor Vollmer (Adrian Hoven), who is technical director of the program, is apparently on the verge of an incredible secret discovery. He becomes increasingly agitated and anti-social before dying in a mysterious accident. His successor, Dr. Fred Stiller, has a discussion with Günther Lause, the security adviser of the institute, when the latter suddenly disappears without trace, before passing on Vollmer's secret to Stiller. More mysterious still is the fact that none of the other IKZ employees seem to have any memory of Lause.
