In the third instalment of ZDF's Hamburg crime drama series in collaboration with ARTE, star lawyer Conti (Désirée Nosbusch) and public prosecutor Henry Mahn (Malaya Stern Takeda) fight for law and justice together for the first time. EIN FALL FÜR CONTI - FÜNF VOR ZWÖLF (AT), directed by Nathan Nill, is being filmed in Hamburg and the surrounding area until 11 December, based on a screenplay by Lucas Thiem.

The content:
Friedrich Klopfer (Michael Wittenborn) is terminally ill. His last wish: Conti is to ensure that his son Falk (Sebastian Urzendowsky) finally receives justice. He has been in prison for nine years - for a murder that Klopfer says he could not possibly have committed. This is also confirmed by a strange phone call from an anonymous woman. Conti and her assistant Carlo (Maximilian Mundt) soon discover the first inconsistencies in the investigation. But why does the convicted son insist so vehemently on his guilt? At the same time, public prosecutor Henry Mahn is trying to solve a kidnapping and is up against a surprising amount of resistance within her own organisation. Conti and Henry now fight together for the first time against an invisible force that is sending out increasingly threatening signals. In the process, they soon end up in the haze of an award-winning restaurant and its charming chef.

Other roles include Peter Lohmeyer, David Schütter, Ulrich Brandhoff, Samuel Weiss, Roxana Safarabadi, Robin Sondermann, Carmen Molinar, Peter Christoph Grünberg, Sarah Masuch and many more.
