Tierärztin Dr. Mertens is a German television series.

The focus is on the psychologist Stefan Schwab, who after overwork, burnout and divorce is actually just looking for the proverbial “Boarische Rua” ("Bavarian peace") in the tranquil foothills of the Alps. However, this wish is not fulfilled; instead, he is reluctantly drawn into the bloody awakening of ancient legends: children disappear, “sinners” are murdered and archaic legends suddenly take on a deadly relevance.

White crosses, taped over mouths, screaming protesters. Since the death of her father, teenager Marie is regularly taken to anti-abortion protests by her dogmatic mother. Then Marie accidentally becomes pregnant herself. In the midst of a family still overshadowed by trauma, Marie struggles with the decision for or against an abortion. Together with her sister Lola, she fights to find her own voice.
