Susanne Müller (Johanna Christine Gehlen) is worried: “Lottchen” has disappeared. Lottchen – that’s Lothar Müller. Her husband, with whom she lives in Schwanitz. Or is his name Lothar Meier? When the body is found, the woman finds out that the dead man has a second family, Lisa Meier (Marie Hacke), just a few kilometers away in Travemünde.
Hauke Jacobs (Hinnerk Schönemann) and Hannah Wagner (Jana Klinge) – supported by police intern Mehmet Ösker (Cem Ali Gültekin) and veterinarian Jule Christiansen (Marleen Lohse) – start investigating and soon find a connection to the Russian foreign secret service. She provides the explanation for the man’s mysterious double life.
“The Double Lothar” is the second of three new episodes in the crime series “Nord bei Nordwest” – it differs radically from its predecessor. While “Goblin No. Four” was the perfect mix of Nordic noir and crime comedy with love elements, the film directed by lead actor Hinnerk Schönemann takes a completely different path: there is no trace of the sudden, unrestrained brutality, the murder does not happen shown. The darkly humorous elements surrounding the undertaker Töteberg are also omitted this time.
The whole drama of a man who lives with two families at the same time, each of which knows nothing about each other, is unfolded. In fact, this story is told so excitingly and sensitively that at the end you as a viewer understand the dead man – something that was unthinkable at the beginning.
