Vom Ende der Eiszeit

'Vom Ende der Eiszeit' is a film which combines the solving of a murder with the story of a policewoman's personal relationships. The latter are quite intense, because the story is set in a hamlet on Germany's cold and windy North Sea coast. After they have been living together for twelve years, Bruno Massmann, played by August Schmölzer, proposes marriage to Lena Jörning, the policewoman played by Veronica Ferres. Then a body is found in the icy sea, and it turns out to be Lena's sister, Evelyn, played in numerous flashbacks by Janna Striebeck, sister of Catrin Striebeck and daughter of Peter Striebeck.
