Judith Kemp
Directed by Helmut MetzgerCommercial lawyer Judith Kemp is at the beginning of a steep career, but as a single mother she has less and less time for her two children, Julia and Marco. She has not yet been able to get over the death of her husband, which is why the constant advances of her boss Stefan Walther, who would promote the capable lawyer in the law firm to partner and preferably to wife, are gradually getting on her nerves. Judith studied family law and doesn't see her calling as providing legal protection for big business deals. When she accidentally overhears a six-year-old girl collapsing on the street all alone, the courageous lawyer sees the chance to finally do something useful. Helena Traber, the mother of the little ones, is a patent woman, but she cannot take care of her three children because three jobs at the same time are wearing her out: Although in a hopeless debt trap, Helen has her pride and does not want alms. It is only after a difficult approach that Judith can convince her that legal help is urgently needed: Helena's husband Maik, a raving father, as he says in the book, has left his wife with a mountain of debt and, on top of that, does not pay a weary euro of maintenance. Officially, he's broke - but runs well-functioning car repair shops through straw men. When it turns out that Judith cannot get at this crook legally, her boss Stefan suddenly develops unexpected skills as a crooked lawyer.
