Impressive political thriller based on the successful novel by Peter Grandl.
After the daughter of Holocaust survivor Ephraim Zamir is killed by neo-Nazis, he takes the perpetrators captive and calls for a vote on their fate on the Internet. The hostage-taking takes place in a medieval fortified tower and becomes the center of conflicts between right-wing radicals, demonstrators and the media.
Herrhausen at Series Mania
International premiere in Lille: A financial visionary between the Cold War and the RAF. 1986: Alfred Herrhausen, CEO of Deutsche Bank, wants to make his bank international. He offends many with his demand for debt relief for Third World countries. The secret services take notice. At the same time, the USSR is almost bankrupt after Chernobyl. Gorbachev needs fresh money and Helmut Kohl's goal is German reunification. Herrhausen signs a loan agreement worth eight billion marks with the Soviet Union on behalf of the FRG - and thus his own death sentence.
ONE TRILLION DOLLARS
Paramount's biggest hit this year: the internationally cast and complexly produced series is based on the bestseller by Andreas Eschbach and presents a kind of mind game: John (Philip Froissant), actually a young bicycle courier, suddenly becomes filthy rich. More precisely, he inherits the incredible sum of 1,000,000,000,000 dollars, making him the richest person on the planet.
