Dennstein & Schwarz

• Watchlist

The young lawyer Dr. Therese Schwarz gets caught up in a bitter inheritance dispute: she is supposed to help the organic farmer Fritz assert himself against the family of the late Count Florentin Dennstein. Heir and heir Felix wants to prevent his illegitimate half-brother Fritz, whom he didn't even know about until recently, from getting a third of the family fortune. His wife Paula Dennstein, an assertive lawyer, files a lawsuit to challenge the will. Although everything is actually clearly regulated, a dispute begins in court in which both sides can only lose. For Therese, the case is anything but easy: she secretly still cherishes her childhood love Fritz, who is now married, and her boss, the law firm owner Dr. Biron, slowed down again and again. He is close to the family - and especially to Countess Alexandra, who starts an intrigue behind the scenes. When Paula and Therese uncover well-kept family secrets, the tide turns. Because both lawyers are not only concerned with the law, but also with justice.
