Plot

edit

Bjarne Mädel plays the crime scene cleaner Heiko "Schotty" Schotte. He works as a facility cleaner (specialized on crime scenes) whose job it is to remove the last traces of the living, in and around Hamburg. It is not a crime thriller nor detective story[2], it rather takes a closer look at the work of the crime scene cleaner in a humours way, where as the criminal cases have a rather subordinate importance. The main focus is laid on scenes which mirror the style of a chamber play.[2] Those scenes are garnished with a lot situational humour, which results from "Schottys" interaction with the spouses, acquaintances of the victim or in one case even with the ghost of the one victim[3]. In multiple episodes "Schotty's" deep connection to the soccer team SV Hamburg is either briefly mentioned, or partially even becomes the in-depth subject of the conversation.
