Lannert - 18 - Im gelobten Land

Resumen

A well-prepared action with the drug investigation is to take place at a freeway parking lot. But instead of arresting Milan Kostic, the alleged murderer and successor to a drug kingpin, along with his goods, Lannert, Bootz and their colleagues are faced with a shocking sight: 23 people have died while fleeing to Germany. Convinced that Kostic is to blame for this death, Thorsten Lannert pursues the suspected smuggler. Lela, who fled Africa, is supposed to testify against him. But Kostic takes the wounded Lela to a refugee home. Thorsten Lannert succeeds in chasing, but he runs into a trap. Although he is injured himself, he manages to keep Kostic and his sister Mitra in their hiding place in the home. While Sebastian Bootz searches the home to find Thorsten Lannert and the suspects, he uses all his powers of persuasion and nerves of steel in a deadlock. He must succeed in persuading Milan to give up. Because a new transport is already on the way and more refugees could die horribly if the transporter is not found in time... The latest crime scene from Stuttgart, "In the Promised Land", is about the dangerous path taken by refugees and the role of smugglers. What predominates in the business of the smugglers, the unscrupulous human trafficking or the help for desperate refugees? What are traffickers willing to do when it comes to saving their own skins? In the direct confrontation between Thorsten Lannert and the Kostics, it's not just pistol against pistol, but the question of conscience and responsibility becomes a weapon. The film by author Christian Jeltsch and director Züli Aladag lasts only a few hours, and most of the atmospheric story takes place in the middle of the refugee home.
