The Undertaker is a crime TV show that follows the story of an undertaker who leads a double life as a police officer, solving mysterious crimes and avenging the victims. With his knowledge of the dead and the criminal underworld, he is able to bring justice to those who cannot speak for themselves.

Former undertaker and ex-police officer Luc Conrad comes back to Switzerland to attend a birthday party in a hotel. When the hotel manager dies under mysterious circumstances, he secretly begins to investigate whether it was a murder.

The filmmaker Lenz has left his native Berlin for the Vosges to research the story behind Georg Büchner's novel fragment Lenz. But he soon trades the Alsatian landscape for higher altitudes and more emotional territory: a reunion with his estranged wife Natalie and their son Noah in the Swiss Alps. Like his literary counterpart, the modern-day Lenz follows the Romantic motto: Genius writes its own rules. Against a background of kitsch global tourism - provided by the authentic Zermatt locations - Thomas Imbach's Lenz portrays an unconventional family and a man struggling between euphoria and desperation.
