Sex & Crime

Valentin (Wotan Wilke Möhring) receives an alarming call from his best friend Theo (Fabian Busch), to whom he has spontaneously given up his house, which he has just moved into, for a night with waitress Mörli (Claudia Eisinger), which is actually much too expensive. Theo - bestselling author, chess player and not quite in good health - and his wife Katja (Pheline Roggan) have been in crisis for a long time. That's where Mörli's distraction comes in handy, says Valentin. So far, so practical. But when Valentin arrives at his house, everything is dark, Theo is distraught, someone is dead and of course nothing as it looks...
