Helvetica: Season 01
At the top of the power structure, Federal President Kathy Kunz is prepared to exchange hostages held in Yemen for illegal bombs. The tense situation worsens when Farouk Sadiki, a Qatari diplomat and ally of Switzerland, is arrested by Rainald Mann, an anti-terrorism police officer searching for a jihadist leader. Political turmoil that does not remotely affect Tina, a woman with no history, a cleaner in the Federal Palace whose job is to clean the offices of the powerful.
Until the day a supposed friend of her father's shows up at her door to “ask” her for a favor—with a gun in his hand. To protect her family, Tina agrees to infiltrate the Swiss power center. Thrust into a web of high-stakes deception, she navigates the corridors of influence, where hostage deals, diplomatic arrests, and covert threats collide amid escalating national security crises. As pressures mount from Yemen's hostage standoff to the fallout of Sadiki's detention, Tina's ordinary life unravels, forcing her to confront the hidden machinations of those in authority while safeguarding her loved ones from unforeseen dangers.
