It gets even more complicated when Rosa’s landlord terminates her apartment contract citing “own requirements” and also wins the right to do so in court. At least at the end of the court proceedings, Rosa has some cause to celebrate: Judge Johannes Bruns wants to hire her as a wedding planner for himself and his big love Anja, who he met eating an extremely hot curry at an Indian restaurant. The only thing is: he is not quite sure how to propose to her. Rosa has an idea and with her assistant, Meral, organises an oriental evening in the restaurant they first met. Anja is blown away. During the course of the wedding preparations, Rosa notices that a dark shadow hangs over Anja’s past, which could eventually scupper the wedding. Sensitively, Rosa talks to Anja and discovers just what is troubling her, while Mark works on an audacious plan with which to dissolve the shared apartment with his future motherin-law: Walter Schmidtbauer, the landlord of a sought-after dream apartment in the best of locations, has promised Rosa the apartment, if she in return can mediate a woman for him. Rosa is indignant, but Mark develops unforeseen matchmaker qualities … In the series “Justice for all”, Isa von Brede, Yasmin and Gudrun have to cope with the fact that their boss, Gregor Ehrenberg, has simply disappeared without having said a word.

Isa is the first to show what she is made of in this situation and proclaims firmly: The legal office will not be closed! Well, a tough decision, especially as she has no idea how to continue without Ehrenberg. In a makeshift fashion, Isa, Yasmin and Gudrun keep the lawyer’s office up and running.

Heidelberg Hotel TV MOVIE | 2 X 90‘ The Hotel Heidelberg is located in an idyllic setting, a delightful house at the foot of the Schlossberg. The junior manager of the family-run business, Annette Kramer, finds herself exposed to a great deal of stress, due mainly to the hotel guests and their growing demands, but especially her headstrong mother, Hermine. She is the charming, funky founder of the hotel and is loath to hand the reins over to her own daughter. As far as Annette is concerned, her mother’s permanent interferences are a catastrophe. 4 Two villages and one church Marriage on hold TV MOVIE | 90‘ TV MOVIE | 90‘ The Swabians of Germany are renowned for their conviviality, but the inhabitants of Lower Rieslingen and those of the neighbouring village of Upper Rieslingen currently tend to prove the opposite.

Because Lindholm’s investigations are extended to the German Air Force base in Wunstorf, she is dependent on Colonel Friedrich’s goodwill. Little by little, it turns out that Lore Körner led an extremely dissipated love life – her bed was apparently home to her husband’s comrades as well as the husbands of female soldiers. Does her death have anything to do with some kind of code of honour within the Air Force? Federal Police Officer Thorsten Falke: The wrath of God CRIME | 90‘ A young couple enjoys the first warm day of the year, until – as if from nowhere – the corpse of a young man falls into their swimming pool. The investigation leads Federal Police Officer Thorsten Falke from the body’s location to the close-by airport Hanover. He soon realises that the Jordanian businessman was a victim of mistaken identity and that any trace of the murder at the airport was to be hushedup.

Why has the unknown Syrian returned to Germany illegally? Is he planning an act of terrorism? The fourth power TV MOVIE | 90‘ Jan Schulte, independent journalist and single parent of a daughter, hopes to be offered a full-time job at the renowned daily newspaper “Die Republik” for his exposure of a scandal.

The four police inspectors find themselves faced with unscrupulous criminals who will not shrink back from committing more murders. IN THE SHADOWS In close cooperation with the customs office, Katrin König and Alexander Bukow arrest a drug courier. In doing so, drugs to the tune of more than 5 million Euros are discovered. A great success! The two investigators celebrate a little more than planned later in the evening and Alexander looks a little too deeply into Katrin’s eyes. The obligatory hangover lurks. The next day, Martin Angerer, the customs chief, is found brutally murdered. He was investigating the Calabrian mafia, Ndrangheta, for whom Rostock harbour is an important hub in the international drug trade.
