She has only two hours to convince the German embassy staff of her innocence. If she fails she will be transferred to the local judiciary facing months of pretrial detention. Unfortunately diplomatic officer Kirsten Buresch who has to take the final decision feels that Maja is suffering from paranoia and therefore might have had a reason to kill her husband.

Who’s in it. Der Verdacht stars Christiane Paul as Maja Reichardt, Hans-Jochen Wagner as Hanno Reichardt, Ina Weisse as Kirsten Buresch and Pierre Besson as Achim Borchert.
