Details

• Genre: Crime, Drama
• Plot: Murder, Venice, relationships… it’s a delicious concoction in the hands of crime novelist Donna Leon. Venice provides the backdrop for the lush film versions of the bestselling novels, which feature the singular Commissario Guido Brunetti, canal boat rides instead of car chases, fine cuisine and crime investigations in one of Europe’s most beautiful locations. Joachim Kröl stars as Brunetti, a police inspectors with a keen mind, razor-sharp wit, and a touch of melancholy. He strives to bring criminals to justice, but experience has taught him that countless things work against that - human frailty, corruption, and police incompetence being chief among them. He takes refuge from the job in the company of his loving wife Paola, a university literature professor, and two teenage children, Raffi and Chiara.; ; EPISODE 1: VENDETTA – First it’s a high society attorney, then a distinguished tax adviser – both murdered within a few days of each other. The attorney’s wife refuses to help Brunetti’s investigation, but information comes from a source close to her. The trail leads to Signora Ceroni, who knew both men – and apparently a great deal more. Inspector Brunetti must crack a murderous human-trafficking ring run by the cream of Venetian society.; ; EPISODE 2: THE ANONYMOUS VENETIAN – When a corpse in lingerie and red high heels turns out to be a respected and influential bank director, Brunetti suspects blackmail. As he searches for clues in the subcultures of transvestites and male prostitutes he discovers just how many respectable citizens lead double lives.
