“Not a job that I wanted to swap mine for,” says actress Nina Kunzendorf in an interview with our newspaper.
It was through the role of Kathi that she only really became aware of the complexity that the subject of terror brings with it.
“The cross-border communication, this network, the insane police work behind the fight against terrorism.
That is something that very few people understand. "

Kathi has to assert herself in a male-dominated world - police chiefs, government spokesmen and politicians are on her neck.
“I was interested in how she dealt with it.
What the work does with her, ”says Kunzendorf, who was also involved in the“ Tatort ”*.
“Whether I like a character or not is not that important.
The question I ask myself while filming and, by the way, as a viewer, is: Do I understand the people, the decisions, the way they act? "

The Norwegian writing team has undoubtedly created believable characters. Under the direction of the Norwegian Magnus Martens and the German Lars Kraume, an international series jewel has been created that sparkles in its many facets. This is particularly noticeable in the original version, which is available in the ZDF media library. Anyone who embarks on the adventure of following the Norwegian actors in their mother tongue with English subtitles will be rewarded with a special fascination. "The series thrives on the fact that different landscapes, people, languages come together," says Kunzendorf. “I like it much better in the original. It is always something different, whether acting and voice are one, or whether something has been added to it. "
Either way, it is worth turning on “Furia”.
The production underpins the fiction with facts.
Brings the pain of old wounds into the present and shows how important it is not to let that which divides us gain the upper hand.
