Money. Murder. Zurich.: Borchert and the bitter medicine

62% Match202213+HD

Overview

Thomas Borchert stands by his conviction as an "unlicensed lawyer" never to neglect humanity when representing a client. This distinguishes him from his friend and colleague Reto, who, as a victim, witness, and legal counsel, is accused of always being "more lawyer than human being." What begins with a robbery at a pharmacy develops into an unusual case of drug crime: the trafficking of high-priced medicines.
