As of today, Wednesday (14. November, 22 at) to run, double impact, in YouTube, in the library, all six parts are shown in the beginning of 2019, the series also runs in the ZDF. The first episode of "Ambra" begins with the discovery of a woman's body in a swimming pool. Her red hair had been removed on the head, under the armpits and in the pubic area.

Many years earlier, the woman was umschwärmter focus of a boarding school clique. And so the investigation Profiler Nadja Simon (Friederike Becht) and her Team to the state attorney green mountain (Wotan Wilke Möhring) and crime Commissioner Koehler (Juergen Maurer) in the past five former boarding school students: the couple of the novel (Ken Duken) and Elena blessed (Natalia Belitski), Daniel "Toothless" Sluiter (Christian Friedel), a brothel operator Thomas Butsche (Trystan Pütter), and perfumer Moritz de Vries (August Diehl).

While investigators follow the tracks of the present, revealing flashbacks of the secret that know the five ominous way...

Wotan Wilke Möhring (51, "the scene of the crime") plays the cool, but instinctive attorney green mountain. In an Interview with the news Agency spot on news of the actor explains, among other things, what makes the unusual series for him, so exciting, and whether you should know the novel "perfume: The story of a murderer" by Patrick Süskind (69).

"perfume" is associated, the most probably first of all, the novel by Patrick Süskind. Would you say that one should know the book to understand the series?

Wotan Wilke Möhring: no, the book does not need to know. It is a historical novel. In the series it is, the kids will read this novel and a similar idea. On the other hand, it is a in today's time-rooted Crime Story with Thriller elements, which in the novel is different. Only the basic idea to develop a scent that you love makes for all the creatures and is the essence of love, is the same.

A Parallel to the book is that red-haired women are murdered. This hair color can be also in normal life hardly anyone cold. Have you been busy?

Möhring: I thought About that, actually never. Of course, the color is striking, because it is simply rare. The use, consciously or unconsciously, maybe even those who dye your Betsidney hair red.

What they found at the series particularly impressive?

Möhring: Director, Cast and camera are really excellent. Exciting, but I found the question, how do I pack this heavy fabric which has to do with many precipices, in an acceptable Form. All the characters have something Broken, Broken. The main investigator Nadja Simon (Becht) converts to also. A good idea I found also, to tell the story in this rather unknown, barren landscape on the lower Rhine. This environment is a great expression of the inner Void of many of the characters... there are Some of what makes the series worth seeing.

state attorney green mountain play. How would you describe it?

Möhring: He is the interface between the investigators and the policy. He has to take the fall, and has the pressure to be a success. He is very cool, and not in vain, in a high Position. This is the a side. But then there are also his instinctive side, he acts out in a destructive affair with the principal investigator.

Speaking of which, another extreme relationship of the novel (Ken Duken) and Elena blessed (Natalia Belitski). Your marriage is born of a rape...

Möhring: Yes, exactly. The novel is also such a figure. On the one hand, he is the brave father of a family, but in dealing with the sexuality of and dependence on his wife, he is sick.

What were you thinking, when she braids have read this fatal Relationship in the script?

Möhring: Up to the investigator Matthias Köhler (masons) all have a right damage. Interesting, I think, that all stuck fast again in the same roles they had as teenagers, when they meet again after many years. From the case you do not come out. It is fatal if one has a sick secret from the youth that connects. That such an act characterizes everything else in the further course of life, I found very exciting.

one Can understand the series a little bit as a plea against boarding schools?

Möhring: Not really. I think it is more likely that the boarding school is used to a group of a pressure to impose that you would not otherwise have had, maybe. If you have had every day of her parents ' house, could not be forced this group to the Individual in the best case, as large. A boarding school is a closed world, in which there is no social control by parents, etc. can happen.

What kind of Feedback you have left from the Premiere in the summer at Munich Filmfest in memory?

Möhring: is Struck me that the story due to the special Aesthetics and this constant undercurrent of sentiment that something threatens enormous Harm, as a very crass was felt. It actually did, the encounter often enough in the newspaper...
