One year after Buch directed a 45-minute feature film Tod eines Idioten (Death of a fool) that was co-produced with the Bavarian Television.
At the same time, she completed the 45-minute TV film essay on the life and work of Else Lasker-Schueler, Mein Herz – Niemandem (1994).
In spite of her success with cinema feature films, Franziska Buch shifts her focus to television in the following years.
She directs high-quality children, youth and family films such as Heimliche Liebe – Der Schüler und die Postbotin (2005) (Secret Love: The Schoolboy and the Mailwoman) about a boy that falls in love with an older woman while he is on holiday and Patchwork [de] (2008) about two single parents and their attempt to found a family with their kids.
Similarly to her debut film Die ungewisse Lage des Paradieses (1992) the story is about a girl handling with her problems and fears by escaping into a fantasy world.
