The third season of this successful series about attorney Friedrich Kronberg (Moritz Bleibtreu) is based on four short stories by Ferdinand von Schirach.

As in the previous seasons, the attorney is confronted with critical moral issues. FILMFEST MÜNCHEN is showing three episodes of the latest season: "The Friend", "The Small Man", and "Lonely".
