Lea wants to be someone, but when a casting show producer asks „Who are you?“, she has no answer. As she searches for an identity, her life in the East German province begins to fracture. While her family’s traditional forest hotel faces economic ruin, her aunt’s museum is lavishly renovated with EU funds, fueling a bitter conflict between heritage and progress.

Amidst this „painful muddle,“ Lea’s family is falling apart: her parents have separated, and her grandparents are locked in a perpetual war of words. In the center of the storm stands her father, Matze, who desperately tries to hold the fragments of their lives together. It is the story of a young woman looking for herself while the only world she knows is losing its foundation.

In the third “Spurlos” thriller, the lagoon city of Venice — after Marseille and Athens — provides the unique backdrop for the latest case in the crime series. To free a kidnapped boy, German ex-elite soldier Angelo enters into a seemingly hopeless war with the Italian mafia.

Fall 1943. Young Rosa, fleeing bomb-stricken Berlin, reaches a small isolated village near the eastern border. This is where her in-laws live and where her husband, engaged at the front, has written to her to take refuge while awaiting her return. Rosa soon discovers that the seemingly quiet village hides a secret: within the forest it borders, Hitler has his headquarters, the Wolf’s Lair. The Führer sees enemies everywhere; being poisoned is his obsession. One morning at dawn Rosa is picked up, along with other young women from the village, to taste the food cooked for him. Torn between fear of death and hunger, the tasters will form alliances, friendships, and secret pacts with each other. Rosa, the Berliner, struggles to be accepted. But when she finally overcomes her distrust of her, something happens that will make her feel guilty. An SS officer, against all rationality and in spite of herself, awakens love in her. Or perhaps the simple need to feel alive, despite everything.

Constanze Brandt and Jens Brandt are a team, a couple, parents—and above all, they are both employed, trying to juggle the demands of work and family life. Between late-night taxi shifts and weekend office hours, they barely manage to hold their lives together, often meeting for rushed discussions in Jens‘ taxi during short breaks between work. Their son Luis is frequently shuffled between them as they navigate their hectic schedules. One day, a phone call from school throws their already fragile routine into chaos: Luis is being bullied. The cause of the bullying is his favorite unicorn backpack, a beloved item he’s encouraged not to bring to school anymore. But for Luis, getting rid of the backpack is non-negotiable. As tensions rise and the situation worsens, the family finds itself in deeper conflict. The taxi, which once served as their makeshift meeting point, turns into a kind of boxing ring—a small space where the parents are forced to confront broader, universal questions about parenting, identity, and societal expectations.
