The Heir Apparent: Largo Winch
After a powerful billionaire is murdered, his secret adoptive son must race to prove his legitimacy, find his father's killers, and stop them from taking over his financial empire. Billionaire Nerio Winch (Predrag "Miki" Manojlovic) is found dead, drowned. An obviously suspicious death as Nerio is the founder and majority shareholder of the powerful and sprawling "W Group". Who will inherit this financial empire? Officially, Nerio had no family. But he had a secret he kept well-hidden: a son, Largo (Tomer Sisley), adopted nearly thirty years before from a Bosnian orphanage. The only problem is this young heir has just been thrown in prison deep in the Amazon. Accused of drug trafficking, he claims he's innocent. Nerio murdered. Largo in prison. What if these two events were part of a plot to take control of the Winch empire? —Happy_Evil_Dude Adopted son, Largo Winch (Tomer Sisley) goes through several ordeals to determine who killed his father, Nerio (Predrag "Miki" Manojlovic). It seems that there is no one he can trust. Probably one man, the man with the scar under his lower lip, is actually with him (though, for a time, he looks like a double cross). Many of the characters in the "W Group" could be the murderer (or a double crosser). However, the actual killer admits to the deed (which is taped on a cell phone by ?). Sometimes the twists and turns in the movie are confusing, and work themselves out in the final few minutes. It is later revealed that Largo's brother was adopted, as well, by Nerio. Only by watching the plot unravel more than one time can one determine how and why the other adopted brother became involved in the final solution. The news of the death of industrial magnate Nerio Winch (Miki Manojlovic), who had managed his global corporate empire from Hong Kong, sends the international financial world into a frenzy - takeover rumors are doing the rounds. Allegedly, Russian tycoon Mikhaïl Korsky (Karel Roden) wants to acquire the Winch Group. Nerio's close colleague Ann Ferguson (Kristin Scott Thomas) must prevent power struggles on the board and within the group from disrupting the defense against a takeover. Nerio's adopted son Largo wants to prove that his father was murdered, but he must also prove that he is the rightful heir. The danger he is in becomes apparent during his first appearance at the company when a man with an important message for Largo is shot dead in the middle of the meeting. Largo has to return to Europe and present the bearer bonds, which only the heir knows where they are. Largo is shot while trying to get hold of the papers, which are in an abandoned monastery in the Mediterranean. Only a daring jump into the sea can save him from his pursuers. Recovered, he joins forces with Korsky to return to Hong Kong in time to prevent the Winch Group from being broken up, but also to bring his father's murderer to justice. —ARD
