Die Assistentin

The Assistant

In Jutta Brückner's drama about three generations of women, the renowned archaeologist Ursula Scheuner (Corinna Harfouch) makes a sensational discovery during excavations in the moor – at the same time as her mother (Hildegard Schmahl) dies. Ursula comes under suspicion of being involved in her death herself. Meanwhile, Ursula's new assistant Mel (Carla Juri) confuses everything: she seems to know more about Ursula's past than she reveals and entangles Ursula in a labyrinth of memories, illusions and truths.
