Lana (Sandra Speichert) is the thief of the title and a mistress of disguise in this German caper movie. She is seen in two different mask disguises: revealing herself by unmasking on-screen both times. Both these disguises involve another actress playing Lana in disguise and then Sandra being seen unmasking: classic mask trickery. If you look at the top row of images you will see clearly that the old lady in the hotel (Renate Becker) is not the same old lady (Sandra masked) in the car who removes her mask.
As well as the mask disguises Lana is seen in a variety of wig and makeup disguises in the movie.
Christina Paul was first makeup artist and Inga Huldarsdottir was second makeup artist on this TV movie.
