About Die Tote ohne Alibi
A noble prostitute is found dead in the toilet of a trendy club. Actually a normal case for Chief Inspector Lukas Laim - he would not know this woman intimately. In addition, the case gets an unexpected twist: Laim and his assistant Tim Berners encounter in the customer file of the victim on the top managers of a pharmaceutical company. Suddenly the sexual offense becomes a serious case of white-collar crime.
Directed by Michael Schneider, Die Tote ohne Alibi leans on a strong ensemble — Maximilian Simonischek, Katharina Böhm, Kostja Ullmann — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2012.
