Bierleichen. Ein Paschakrimi

The body of a Turkish film student is found in the Wittelsbach fountain in Munich. Apparently Ömer Özkan drowned, but not in the fountain water, but in the beer. His lungs are filled with beer from "Minga Bräu", a traditional Munich brewery that is allegedly being sold to Istanbul. A Turkish student drowned in Bavarian beer. A puzzling case for Inspector Pasha and his Migra. While Pius Leipold enters the beer milieu with great vigor, Zeki's investigative zeal is very subdued.

Directed by Matthias Steurer, Bierleichen. Ein Paschakrimi leans on a strong ensemble — Tim Seyfi, Theresa Hanich, Almila Bağrıaçık — 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 tv movie titles of 2017.
