While Angela Merkel lives her everyday life as a citizen ignoring the reports about her appearance, the German network RTL is preparing to show a police film with the former chancellor of Germany being asked to… solve a crime.

Titled Miss Merkel – A Uckermark crime thriller, the film will be screened on March 21. Based on the script, “Angela Merkel” moves from Berlin to a small town in Ukermak to enjoy her retirement in peace with her husband and… Putin’s dog. Not for long. Suddenly, her everyday life is turned upside down.

A local resident is found poisoned in a cell in the town’s castle, and Angela Merkel decides to take on the role of… Miss Marple, the heroine of Agatha Christie’s detective novels…

The role of the TV Merkel is played by the 69-year-old actress Katarina Thalbach, who said that the protagonist is a combination of a former Chancellor and a retiree who turns into “Miss Marple”.

The film is based on the successful books by David Shaffer.
