The quirky cat-and-mouse Cold War thriller stars Jella Haase as former East German assassin Kleo Straub who's out for brutal revenge on everyone who betrayed her.

Netflix teases: "The hunt for the red suitcase continues: former East German spy Kleo is determined to get the red suitcase back and destroy it for good. Sven intends to do everything he can to redeem himself in Kleo's eyes and work with her again. It's apparent that she gives him a bit of an adrenaline rush in his work as a police officer.

"The red suitcase's contents play a key role in the reorganization of Germany and Europe in the wake of the Cold War, so it’s no wonder that the KGB and CIA are also after it. Both secret services target Kleo, who's at the center of all the action. But there's more: while Europe’s future is in Kleo’s hands, she's more intensely confronted with her own past than she would like.”
