Veteran German producers Yoko Higuchi-Zitzmann and Michael Lehmann will adapt Max Sprenger's best-selling autobiography Tsunami im Kopf (Tsunami in the Head), about Sprenger's life with locked-in syndrome, for the screen.

German director Marco Petry (Heiter bis wolkig) will helm the feature and co-write the script with partner Janina Petry. Principle photography is planned for 2021 or 2022.
