Set in the recently reunified Berlin in 1991, Divided We Stand highlights the complicated impact of reunification on people’s lives in the form of a co-investigation between East and West German law enforcement. A high-ranking minister charged with scrapping East German military weapons is murdered, which brings together Kara Schubert (Nadja Uhl), an East German homicide detective, and Peter Simon (Fabian Hinrichs, Tatort), a West German Superintendent who leads a special unit investigating crimes committed by the former GDR (German Democratic Republic) regime. They struggle to set aside their prejudices, but then begin to uncover a wider web of crime.
