London, 1873: In one of England’s most famous court cases, a man claims to be the long-lost son of the wealthy Lady Tichborne. The case incites the poor against the rich and fascinates the Scottish housekeeper, Eliza Touchet. She finds herself in conversation with one of the main witnesses in the case, a former slave from Jamaica. As the two of them draw closer to finding the truth, the question is: Whose truth counts? Celebrated best-selling author ZADIE SMITH surprises with her fascinating new novel, THE FRAUD, which is based on real historical events. Host: ALF MENTZER; German text: ANJA LAÏS
