LABAULE & ERBEN
MINISERIES– 2018
When the family patriarch and his eldest son tragically die, the second-born, Wolfram, unexpectedly inherits a newspaper empire built over generations. However, Wolfram, a devoted family man, bon vivant, and professional son, has never set foot in the publishing business. Selling the company to a tabloid rival, as suggested by his scheming mother recently returned from Uruguay, is out of the question for him. Instead, he seizes this as his chance to prove that he, too, can be a mover and shaker like his father. But in a faltering publishing cosmos teetering between quality journalism and pet food ventures, Wolfram is at a loss for direction. To make matters worse, his spiteful mother is weaving a web of intrigue, his wannabe-startupper son Tristan interferes, and a personal issue threatens his marriage. Suddenly, Wolfram faces the greatest challenge of his previously comfortable life.
