Ein Fall von Liebe (2009)

The Leipzig star lawyer Florian Faber represents wealthy real estate companies who rubbish little people with questionable financing models. The arrogant bachelor, spoiled for success, has no scruples and he lives on a large scale, including a designer apartment and sailing yacht. How hollow and monotonous his life is only becomes clear to the once sympathetic and imaginative lawyer when he is innocently involved in a serious traffic accident and barely escapes death. Florian visits the widow Elke Linde, whose husband Thomas was fatally injured by the driver who fled the accident. He learns that the mother of two is in danger of losing her house through a foreclosure sale. This is due to the real estate company "Argens Wohnfinanz", which Florian is supposed to represent. He cheerfully changes sides and takes over Elke's mandate. His law firm partners Rigas and Braun are furious. Together with the attractive journalist Sarah Pohl, Florian tracks down the shady machinations of the real estate mafia. Sarah is impressed by his change of heart and falls madly in love with him. But when Florian surprisingly comes under suspicion of corruption, she begins to doubt the noble motifs of the "white knight".
