Follow the Money takes us into the world of economic crime in the banks, on the stock exchanges, in the FORMAT
boardrooms and amongst the street gangs. It is a story of greed: Theirs and Ours.
About human beings: the rich, the poor, the greedy, the fraudulent, and the thieves who will go to great
lengths to build the lives of their dreams. Can anyone become a criminal?
Each season covers different topics and follows different main characters. The focus shifts from white-
collar crime in the world of high financing (Season 1 + 2) to the grittier and rougher world of street crime
and drug dealing (Season 3).
Season 1 had an impressive average share of 52% and Season 2 with an average share of 47%. Both
seasons aired in 2016. Two years later, Season 3 was selected for Berlinale as it can stand alone as a spin
off and it had an average share of 35%, the highest since 2017.

Esben Smed was named Shooting Star at the Berlin Film Festival 2017.

14-year-old Holly’s family is torn apart by her school essay detailing violence in the home. Dedicated social
worker Lars is assigned to the case. Convinced by Holly’s story, he places Holly and her seven-year-old
brother, Theo, in foster care. However, when central family members – including Holly’s stepfather – claim
that the essay is nothing more than teenage rebellion, Lars’s sense of certainty begins to fray at the edges.
Holly’s parents launch a full-scale legal attack against Lars and their own daughter. Meanwhile, video
footage of Lars performing a heavy-handed social services operation is shared on social media, turning
private misery into public outrage. In a sudden role reversal, Lars quickly finds himself on the receiving end
of negative publicity. Scrambling to rebuild his case before the final court ruling – with or without the help
of a remorseful Holly – several central questions remain: Are children always to be trusted? How much
emotional turmoil can one family take? And who is really telling the truth?
