I guess your mysterious destination may depart from B or C, in which case 35 minutes is a stretch, given that boarding could close at T-20 minutes (and will close at that time from A4). If you are one PNR then you could in theory be rebooked if your transfer time falls below 1 hour, but I can't believe they're tracking Lufthansa's flights.
