action
Her current case poses an emotional challenge to Commissioner Bella Block. A father first killed his family and then tried to kill himself. Besides him, only the eight-year-old daughter Isabell survived. In order to process the images and the tragedy, she accompanies her friend Simon Abendroth to a congress in Galway , Ireland . Once there, she made the acquaintance of Daniel Ellermann, a German pastor, as well as his sister, Anna, and his niece Lis. Daniel is socially committed, but Bella Block soon gets to know his irascible side when he forcibly drives his niece's drunk friend out of the house. Nevertheless, she is looking for his company, as he is currently the only German speaker in her environment. When Simon is at the congress during the day, the pastor seems to be the only way to avoid boredom. She also feels connected to him in a certain way. Like her, he comes together with a wide variety of people and, like her, also has an insight into family tragedies. Like the situation of Frank, a single father; it reminds her massively of the initial situation of her last case in Hamburg.
When Bella Block realizes that the pastor's company is not doing her good and she wants to stop her daily meetings, Anna Ellermann suddenly appears and shortly afterwards her daughter Lis. Both have different reasons to visit them, but this arouses the Commissioner's curiosity. She researched Anna Ellermann and found out that she was considered a sympathizer of the RAF in Germany and that her brother was married in Hamburg and has a family. She suspects that Lis is not Daniel Ellermann's niece, but his daughter, which explains why he is so worried about her and her company. When asked, he admits this and describes his wife's fatal accident to Bella, which is why Lis grew up as Anna's daughter. She doesn't know anything about it herself, but has felt for some time that something is wrong. So one day she finds out the truth and, in her disappointment at having been lied to for a lifetime, wants to leave the family. Late at night she rides off on one of the horses and falls in the process. She was found seriously injured the next day. In this situation, it turns out that her boyfriend Sean is actually a good-for-nothing and drug dealer . Daniel Ellermann also breaks his silence: his wife has not had an accident. He had pushed her down the stairs because she wanted to leave him. He then emigrated to Ireland with his sister and went into hiding. He has lived with this guilt for seventeen years. Bella Block takes note of his confession and leaves the Irish police to take further action.

Reviews
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv judged: Bella Block “gets to feel something of the destructive power of fear of loss and jealousy. 'Guilt and Love' is a projection-rich crime drama that sometimes doubles the relationship problems a little too clearly. In connection with the Irish atmosphere, however, this crime thriller excursion into philosophical melodrama is absolutely consistent. "
The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best rating (thumbs up) and said: "The opening sequence is strong and oppressive." Conclusion: "Complex drama in front of a beautiful Irish backdrop."
