Michael Ande (born 5 October 1944, Bad Wiessee) is a German actor best known for his role as Gerd Heymann in the West German crime-drama television series Der Alte. He was a well-known German film child star during the 1950s. A German reader reports, "Michael played in mostly melodramas--those films with nice people, love and mountains, etc (sentimental film in an idealized setting). Some would consider these rather schmaltz tear-jerkers. Two words come to mind in German. The first is "Heimatfilm". Heimat is home, where I came from This kind of film stands for: very sentimental, lots of love (and some ache but with Happy End), idealistic setting, Lederhosen, Mountains, Conservative ideals, etc. The second is "Heile-Welt-Film" meaning "intact-world-film" They were, however very popular films in Germany." He played a variety of roles in these films, including choir boys. One of these films was "Der schoenste Tag in meinem Leben" (1957) in which he played a chorister in the Vienna Boys' Choir. There is an image of him, for example, on the HBC choir-film pages. Michael also played in two German films about the Trapp family: "Die Trapp-Familie" (1956) and "Die Trapp-Familie in Amerika" (1958). These films were made some years before the U.S. film—the musical version "The Sound of Music" was made. (The Broadway version appeared several years earlier.) Michael played the role of Werner in the Trapp-films. (In "The Sound of Music" the boy's name is Kurt.) Ande like many child actors had difficulty continuing his career as an adult actor. He had problems being accepted as adult actor as he had such a youthful-looking face.

Much attention, he found in the role of Jim Hawkins on Television the Treasure Island (1966) on the novel by Robert Louis Stevenson, which was broadcast on Christmas 1966 for the first time.

Ande is still acting and occasionally appears on German television.

After undergoing cosmetic facial surgery, a mother (Susanne Wuest) comes back home to her modern, isolated lakeside house and her ten-year-old twins, Elias and Lukas (Elias and Lukas Schwarz). Her head is swathed in bandages, with only her eyes and mouth visible. The twins are unnerved with their mother's appearance and are further taken aback when she begins to exhibit strange behavior. She pointedly ignores Lukas and appears to only acknowledge Elias in conversation. Though it is the middle of summer, the mother orders the twins to keep the blinds closed during the day, imposes a strict rule of silence inside the house, and allows them to only play outdoors. The mother also acts cruel and lashes out at Elias physically when he displays mischievous or disobedient acts; something that the boys comment that their mother would never do.

Au pensionnat aristocratique bavarois sis dans le château d'Heiligenstadt, Vincent Loringer est considéré comme un garçon singulier par les autres élèves. Il chante des airs exotiques d'une voix mélancolique en s'accompagnant à la guitare. Un jour, lui et quelques camarades s'embarquent pour aller explorer les rives de l'autre côté du lac. Ils s'aventurent dans une propriété qu'on dit abandonnée et, lorsqu’apparaît une ombre dans la vieille demeure, ils regagnent précipitamment leur pensionnat sans Vincent. Quand celui revient beaucoup plus tard, il est comme transformé et semble contempler avec émerveillement quelque chose d'intangible. Il raconte alors qu'il a rencontré la plus angélique des créatures répondant au doux nom de Marianne. Il n'a plus qu'une idée : la revoir, et tenter de la délivrer, car elle serait prisonnière de la demeure. Ses camarades s'arment de courage et l'accompagnent dans la mystérieuse propriété, mais Marianne a disparu. Vincent quitte alors le pensionnat pour partir à la recherche de son amour de jeunesse, prêt à aller jusqu'au bout du monde s'il le faut, car c'est à cette seule condition qu'il retrouvera l'envie de vivre.
