action

Alexander "Alex" Haller, who inherited a hotel together with his sister Sophie, is a blind, former Vienna chief inspector who survived a car bomb attack two years earlier, only badly injured and lost his eyesight and thus his job. His partner, the public prosecutor Kara Hoffmann, was killed in the attack. Alexander Haller blames himself for her death and believes that the attack was aimed at him. In Vienna at night , the taxi driver from Berlin , Nikolai Falk, was able to prevent Haller from committing suicide out of desperation. From this chance acquaintance, an unequal investigative duo develops.

Haller's successor Laura Janda and her former chief public prosecutor Arthur Pohl are not very enthusiastic that Haller is now investigating on his own, supported by driver Nikolai. Haller tries to use the disadvantage of not being able to see to his advantage, since others underestimate him. In addition to a keen sense of hearing and smell , he has, among other things, the ability to recognize the content of records by scanning the grooves.

background

Philipp Hochmair prepared for his role by visiting an exhibition by Dialog in the Dark , among other things .
