Der Prag-Krimi: der kalte Tod

His native city of Prague won’t let go of German BKA officer Jan Koller. After solving the death of a colleague, he wants to turn his back on the unloved city as soon as possible. But then he learns that his father, who was presumed dead, is alive and working in a senior citizens’ flat-sharing community inhabited by Germans.

Koller makes his way to the WG – with a somewhat queasy feeling. But the meeting with his father turns out worse than Koller could have ever imagined, because his father wants nothing to do with him.

Instead of reconciling with his father, Koller suddenly finds himself under suspicion of murder: he is accused of having pushed one of the residents to his death. And the very worst – Koller can’t remember anything.

Fluss des Lebens: Okavango – Fremder Vater

Charlotte (Christina Hecke) works in London as a molecular biologist. The big city, the hustle and bustle, the amenities, the recreational opportunities, that’s what Charlotte wants. She could not imagine a life in the seclusion of Namibia. But after the death of her sister, Charlotte wants to bring her godchildren, her nephew Julian (Tom Gronau) and her niece Lilly (Matilda Jork), to their biological father Gunnar (Roeland Wiesnekker). And he lives in Namibia.

The sudden family reunion is a challenge for everyone involved: the petulant Julian cannot forgive Gunnar for abandoning his mother, his sister and him. Lilly, on the other hand, has become a stranger to her own father and has not yet been able to get over the death of her mother. Meanwhile, Charlotte tries to fight the feelings she still has for Gunnar.

Charlotte no longer understands the world, or rather her world. Only an adventurous journey across the Okavango opens Charlotte’s eyes to a completely different life.

Tatort – The cold and the dead

A weekend in Berlin: In search of an unforgettable night, partygoers and revelers roam the wintry streets.

A young woman finds a suitable date via a dating app in the couple Dennis Ziegler (Vito Sack) and Julia Hoff (Milena Kaltenbach). The next morning, a body is found near Dennis’ apartment. Her face is disfigured so that identification seems impossible.

A missing person’s report and a subsequent DNA match reveal to commissioners Nina Rubin (Meret Becker) and Robert Karow (Mark Waschke) that the dead woman is medical student Sophia Bader.

When Rubin and Karow deliver the death news to Marianne (Andreja Schneider) and Helmut Bader (Rainer Reiners), the parents deny that the dead woman is their daughter and deny that she used dating portals.

To the surprise of the commissioners, Dennis Ziegler and Julia Hoff appear at the police station. They explain that after having consensual sex with Sophia, they broke up the same evening. But innocent Dennis does not seem to be. A thick police file attests to allegations of arson, assault and rape. However, he was never convicted.

The suspicion quickly arises that his parents – patrolwoman Doris (Jule Böwe) and security specialist Claus Ziegler (Andreas Döhler) – have repeatedly managed to get their son off the hook. And again the fingers of the parents seem to be involved, the investigators run into a wall. Rubin and Karow must use drastic methods to break through the Ziegler family’s psychogram – and to understand why Sophia’s parents so vehemently deny their daughter’s death.
