Everything that is right is the first film in the German television series of the same name in the first from 2008. The family comedy is about the idiosyncratic judge Lena Kalbach (played by Michaela May ), who, due to her insubordination, is transferred to the district court of her hometown Fulda and there meets old and new friends. After the fourth episode, ARD Degeto announced the end of the series in 2011.
action
The experienced judge Lena Kalbach works at the regional court in the Hessian metropolis of Frankfurt . She is a woman of moral principles - and when she sees them violated, she doesn't take it seriously with her legal obligations. For example, when the shrewd lawyer Teddy Klein succeeded in getting a client free with windy methods. Outraged, Lena refuses to announce the verdict.
As a punishment, the rebellious judge is transferred from the regional court to a local court. Her immediate transfer will take place in her old hometown of Fulda in East Hesse . For Lena a professional and social decline, she had left her hometown 30 years ago "because of the tightness". Her adult daughter Nike, who works as a public prosecutor at the local court, lives here with her husband Johannes and their two children Clara and Emanuel.
While son-in-law Johannes and the children are happy, daughter Nike is not exactly enthusiastic about the unexpected appearance of her mother, especially since Lena moves back into her parents' house with her daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. The old 68er Lena and her tradition-conscious, strict daughter could hardly be more different in character. When Lena interferes in the upbringing of the teenager Clara, the tensions between the two dissimilar women continue to increase. Old wounds break open and unresolved family conflicts come to light again.
But Lena also causes unusual unrest at the district court in Fulda. While the colleagues are wondering how long the city lawyer will hold out, Lena finds more and more taste in the case assigned to her. The respected and wealthy newspaper publisher Dr. Jobst Grübel is said to be incapacitated by his children because of their insanity - and Lena's “favorite enemy” Teddy Klein acts as a lawyer, to whom she owes the transfer. There is no question that Lena investigates this case with her typical idiosyncrasy.

Reviews
The reviews of this comedy are quite muted. Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv writes: “An old 68er fighting against faint-heartedness and conventions, who sweeps through the small town with a fresh broom. This is a thought-out, but pretty basic idea and it is definitely suitable for series production. Especially because Michaela May was won over for the role. It's just a shame that when trying to ventilate the gowns a little, they forgot to free the dramaturgy from the mustache. With this constellation there should definitely be more! "
At Kino.de one is of the opinion that "These characters [...] are far too complex [] to just entertain a film. [...] The story (script: Kirchmann and Sebastian Andrae) thrives on the fact that both levels, private and professional life, are equally attractive and are skillfully linked with each other again and again. However, the pivotal point is the unconventional judge. [...] Almost devotedly, the scriptwriters make her life difficult. [...] But the most beautiful are the verbal battles between mother and daughter: Here the representatives of two opposing lifestyles clash similarly relentlessly. "
The critics of the TV magazine TV-Spielfilm judge this TV family comedy with Michaela May as a defiant judge with the words: "Whoever tunes in here will not be punished for less than 90 minutes with shallow material."
