Neuhauser and Krassnitzer: Two Names in the Spotlight
In the heart of Vienna, the affluent clientele of the prestigious gourmet temple, Efeukron, dine elegantly, unaware of the turmoil that unfolds behind the kitchen doors. Last night, Chef André Brauer, the head of Efeukron, was found stabbed to death outside his residence.
The kitchen at Efeukron is described as having a toxic work environment and military-like discipline. The staff follows a hierarchy where someone moving up occurs when someone falls in the "brigade." The murder occurred after a night of heavy drinking with his team.
The suspect pool includes members of the Efeukron kitchen staff. Among them is Lars, the sous-chef, who was in a relationship with Chef Brauer's wife, Alicia. Alicia, however, was not present the night of the murder.
The investigation is being led by Bibi Fellner and Moritz Eisner, both members of the Efeukron staff. Bibi, seeking guidance, turns to "Inkasso Heinzi" Simon Schwarz, a friendly prison oracle.
Lars harbors a secret known only to him, Brauer, and his brother, the ex-junkie "Ratte" (Manuel Sefciuc). The name of the secret is not provided in the available search results.
The crime plot is woven into a study of the milieu at Efeukron, revealing exploitation, harassment, and affairs. Several women with whom Chef Brauer had brief sexual relationships are under suspicion.
Simon Morzé, who won the German Film Prize in 2024, is also part of the cast. Martina Ebm, known from 'Vorstadtweiber', is part of the supporting cast. Bibi Fellner is considering transferring to another department, causing tension with Moritz Eisner.
Chef Brauer was known for his egotistical behavior. His death has sent shockwaves through the culinary world, leaving many to question their own roles in the case. Detective duo Adele Neuhauser and Harald Krassnitzer must navigate the complex web of secrets and alliances within Efeukron to uncover the truth.
As the investigation continues, one thing is clear: the kitchen at Efeukron is not just a place of culinary excellence, but a powder keg waiting to explode.
