So much for the first episode, which will be broadcast on Das Erste together with episodes two and three this Wednesday (December 20th) from 8:15 p.m.
What’s next?
As the story progresses, which according to the intro is “inspired by true events”, Johanna develops into an important player in the espionage network in the midst of a patriarchal world. In order to win her daughter back, she gets involved in the dangerous game – and suddenly becomes the deciding factor…
The first will show episodes four to six on Thursday (December 21st), also at prime time.
