The Snake

Fotograf Vincent hat Pech in der Ehe, aber Glück im Beruf, als kurz nach dem Besuch beim Scheidungsrichter eine schöne Unbekannte ihm in Abwesenheit der Kollegen eine heiße Fotosession liefert. Umso größer Vincents Bestürzung, als diese ihn tags darauf wegen Vergewaltigung anzeigt. Doch damit nicht genug: Man schiebt Vincent auch noch einen Mord in die Schuhe. Und nichts Besseres fällt ihm ein, als vor der Polizei zu fliehen. Ob sein alter Intimfeind Plender, der kürzlich wieder auftauchte, etwas damit zu tun hat?

A ruthless gang led by private detective Joseph Plender is extorting rich people and famous fashion photographer Vincent Mandel seems the next victim. He is married to Hélène, daughter of one of the richest people in Europe, but not quite happily. In fact the marriage is on the brink of a divorce and a judge is deciding who will take the two children. Can Hélène take them to Germany or will they stay with Vincent? Vincent has a lot on his mind and he improvises when model Sofia Kippiani comes to his studio, but his makeup crew doesn't show up. Before he knows it, he is accused of a rape. Things go worse and worse for Vincent, he sees his entire life slipping away and, most importantly, he might lose his children. But why does his former schoolmate Joseph Plender seek contact with Vincent and even solve a nasty problem for him? Does Plender want something more than money?
