Rehragout-Rendezvous

2023

A bang at the Eberhofer farm: Grandma goes on strike and wants to get rid of the family care in the future. Pure chaos! The family is supposed to learn how to take care of themselves. Now, of all times, Susi temporarily takes over Niederkaltenkirchen's town hall as deputy mayor and, with her newfound power, reduces Franz's position to part-time so that he can take care of son Pauli in the future. This action touches the Eberhofer's masculinity sensitively. Fortunately, it doesn't take long for a crow to pick up a human ear, and what should have been a deadlocked missing person's case surprisingly develops into a tricky murder case that once again unites Franz and Rudi as an investigative dream team in top form.
