The Freedom of the Wolves is a German television film by Christian von Castelberg from 2004. It is the 17th film in the ZDF crime film series Bella Block .

action

Bella Block faces a serial killer this time. Marie Kupfer, a nurse, is found dead. The serial killer Holger Kamp, who used a clearance to escape from the penal system, quickly falls into the sights of Bella Block. The director of the institution, Professor Korbach, vehemently defends the penal system and opposes the Bella Block investigation. That seems a little incomprehensible to the inspector in relation to the escaped man, because Korbach had a relationship with the victim and, as the autopsy revealed, Kupfer was pregnant.

Bella Block hopes for clues to the whereabouts of Holger Kamp through his girlfriend Monika Hoffmann. But she is silent until it is almost too late for her. After an argument with Kamp, she is found with stab wounds and cuts. But the nature of the injuries suggest that Hoffmann inflicted the wounds himself. That comes true when Kamp visits his alleged victim in the hospital to find out why she did it. Bella Block suspected this and is already expecting Kamp. She had seen through Hoffmann, for she had stabbed the nurse to death because she had learned that Kamp had befriended the young woman and she was now afraid of losing the man she loved.

background

The film was shot in Hamburg and premiered on October 9, 2004 at 8:15 p.m. on ZDF .

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv judged: “Seldom has a 'Bella Block' case been so intensively involved. Psychological tension dominates over Whodunit. ”“ Even if Block initially poisoned against the loosening of prison sentences, saying that she would speak out against the therapy of offenders, hardly any viewer would accept that. Since this reduces the already small group of suspects, this goes a little bit on the thriller tension in this film with excellent cast with Katrin Saß, Karoline Eichhorn and Harald Krassnitzer. The stronger the psychological tension. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best rating (thumbs up) and said: "Relentless and close to reality."
