Eisner - 44 - Wahre Lügen

Overview

The two Viennese special investigators Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) and Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) are called to a mysterious murder case in the Salzkammergut. A female body was found in Lake Wolfgang. Shot and dumped in a car. The dead woman turns out to be a missing German journalist who was most recently working on a story about illegal arms deals. Eisner's and Fellner's research lead the two of them to the deceased's desperate partner, to her informant, to her editor-in-chief and to a mysterious death of a former Austrian minister that, even after decades, has still not been fully clarified. The General Directorate for Internal Security quickly feels called onto the scene, which apparentlyis not at all interested in working through this old, politically uncomfortable case, and puts pressure on the two inspectors and their superior Ernst Rauter (Hubert Kramar). Undeterred, Eisner and Fellner continue to investigate and quickly realize that the historical criminal case and the murder of the journalist must actually have something to do with each other. When further investigations lead to the next mysterious death, Eisner and Fellner are faced with the almost impossible task of having to solve the old, mysterious case in order to be able to solve the murder of the journalist. In doing so, however, they encounter increasing resistance and eventually their professional and personal limits.
