"The Godmother": Veronika Ferres in the swamp of crime
"The godmother - no way back"
Who can Katharina Almeda (Veronkia Ferres) trust? Authorized representative Assmann (Peter Davor)?
In real life, Veronika Ferres has long been "The Godmother" - the godmother of "Power-Child", an association dedicated to the prevention of sexual violence against children. In the three-part event of RTL Germany's most famous TV actress is initially only Katharina Almeda, housewife and mother, whose biggest challenge is to organize a perfect children's birthday for daughter Sofia. The perfect Almeda world collapses when Katharina's husband Max (Jeroen Willems, who looks like Robbie Williams, just with more wrinkles) is almost arrested.
What follows in three 90 minutes is anything but child's birthday. Initially it is said that businessman Max was taken away because of a tax case, a short time later, there is already talk of organized crime and drug trafficking - and Katharina Almeda increasingly stunned. But instead of remaining in shock, she decides to continue Max's business - hoping to save him and her family. Katharina Almeda becomes "The Godmother". She gets involved in a deal that drives her to the Russian mafia and into the arms of Sergey Assinovich (Mikael Persbrandt, Gunvald from "Kommissar Beck") ...
"The godmother - no way back" wants a lot, too much. BKA, BND, Russian mafia, Corsican mafia a second wife Almeda, an old friend of Max - everyone is allowed to get involved and make new turns in this eight-million-dollar production. The result: unfortunately a rather unrealistic story in which the maniacs live longer and ample use of the Hollywood fund, That's a pity. The story of a housewife who suddenly has to say goodbye to her healing world existence and continue her husband's dark business, can also work (see Catherine Zeta-Jones in "Traffic", which served as a model for the RTL patron ). But "The Godmother" would not least have needed a leading actress who can fulfill this multi-faceted role better than Veronika Ferres.
