Stille Wasser

In his 26th (and last) case, Uwe Kockisch, as Guido Brunetti, has to recognize his own limits: the Venetian commissioner has burned out from his exhausting work and urgently needs rest after a weakness in the Questura. But even when he was on sick leave, the idealistic investigator set about clearing up the mysterious death of a beekeeper who had become a particularly familiar friend in a short time.
