Crime thriller miniseries based on bestselling novel. In alternative history, journalist Daniel Lischke (30) arrives in the Sudeten, borderland of Czechoslovakia, to report about the first free elections in 1990. Meanwhile, a former gestapo officer is killed for more than just a robbery. Tension grows between Germans and Czechs, traditional co-citizens of the Sudeten. Post-war injustices that sinked under surface in the Eastern Europe, are vivid once again. Antient motives such as identity, nation and religion seem to be stronger than idea of tolerance in newly born democracy. If we solve historical trauma in alternative reality, can we solve some of the today´s problems? Drama series is based on bestselling novel Sudetenland by Leos Kysa.
