Eisner - 18 - Exitus

Übersicht

A mysterious traffic accident in the snow with five dead gives special investigator Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) many mysteries. Because in addition to the two drivers, two students, the police found three other dead people in the crashed car, who apparently died before the accident. Initial investigations show that these three corpses were officially transferred from a hospital to the Anatomy Department of the University of Vienna for research and teaching purposes. The head of the clinic, Dr. Veronika Fuchsthaler (Sunnyi Melles) has no explanation for how these human bodies got into a pickup truck on a lonely country road at night. Eisner and his colleague Inspector Bernhard Weiler (Heribert Sasse) receive unexpected help from the young pathologist Paula Weisz (Feo Aladag), who discovers inconsistencies in the hospital. On a very hot lead, Dr. Weisz at a seminar at the University of Graz. Because during an object lesson, she recognizes the body of a young drug addict who, according to the documents, had already been dissected by students in Vienna. How could this corpse come to Graz unharmed from the outside? For Moritz Eisner it is clear that the anatomy and the hospital use forged files to make corpses disappear. People who have no family, no one pays for a funeral, and no one misses. But for what purpose is this happening? And why does the drug addict woman have severe fractures to her spine and shoulders that were clearly inflicted long after death? Followed by the press, which got wind of this horror story, Eisner gets deeper and deeper into an investigation that constantly raises new questions. Above all, however, this one question: How far can science and research go?
