Story

Blackmail, mobbing, sex: the daily bread of a celebrity lawyer. Well-known media lawyer Christian Schertz was the inspiration behind the series, which orientates itself towards US series like Boston Legal, Suits or Scandal. Leo Roth (Lavinia Wilson) is Germany’s most successful media lawyer. She moves confidently around the highest circles in Berlin. Her capricious, always power-conscious, sometimes invasive behaviour polarizes, which does her reputation no harm at all. When Leo’s brother-in-law, Berlin’s Interior Senator, gives her the task of preventing his affair with a young colleague getting out, Leo’s well-controlled world begins to falter. FILMFEST HAMBURG is showing the first two parts of this eight-part series by Randa Chahoud and Stefan Bühling.

Director

RANDA CHAHOUD (*1975) studied at the German Film and Television Academy in Berlin and received numerous awards for her sci-fi series Ijon Tichy: Raumpilot, among others.
