Bitter Suspicion is a German television film by Dagmar Hirtz from 2001. It is the 11th film in the ZDF crime series Bella Block .

action

The student Jana Ebeling is found dead in the Uni-Park. Initial investigations reveal that the young woman was raped. Bella Block is investigating the victim's fellow students where she particularly suspects the student Benedikt Bartels. But Benedikt is the son of the law professor, who is in close contact with Dr. Klaus Dieter Mehlhorn has what massively complained of Block's investigation. Through her determined investigative work, she succeeds in finding a witness who Benedikt Bartels saw with Jana Ebeling shortly before her death. To his amazement, not even his parents seem to believe in his innocence, because they give him a false alibi. At first he suspects that they are only doing this because they want to save the family from the embarrassment of suspicion against them. But in an argument with his father, he learns that he was "only" adopted. This, in turn, explains the constant disappointment of his parents that he did not meet their expectations in many ways and that they let him feel this again and again. Benedict therefore no longer wants to take into account the "code of honor" among students and testify against his fellow students what his father had previously forbidden him. He went to the police headquarters and recorded that Jana Ebeling was in the sauna with her boyfriend Tim Seeger and his fellow student Sven Martens shortly before her death. Jana would have kissed Sven to annoy Tim. Then Tim would have held her and Sven raped her. Jana would have screamed, but he would not have intervened out of cowardice. On the other hand, he would have followed her to the bus stop and killed her. Bella Block has doubts about this unexpected admission and she should be right. His anger at his father's behavior went so far that he wanted to annoy him with this confession. The real culprit is Tim Seeger. In a haunting conversation, the Commissioner got him to admit the crime. He claims to have no intention of killing his girlfriend. He would have lost control of himself.

Privately, her relationship with Simon Abendroth is in crisis after she catches him with a young student. He, however, accuses her of increasingly no longer distinguishing between the private Bella and the professional Bella.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv judged: “Bitter Suspicion” “is a varied, multi-toned crime thriller that grows into a family drama, but never loses its ironic lightness. A fluently narrated, versatile Whodunit with perfect timing and a convincing cast. Block's wisdom refines the supposedly average plot. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best rating (thumbs up) and said: “The eleventh case in the series that won the Grimme Prize is versatile and spices up the dialogues with a pinch of irony.” Conclusion: “Lawyers are better criminals ?! "
