Stich ins Herz is a German TV film by Stephan Wagner from 2011. It is the 30th film in the ZDF crime film series Bella Block . It is the 12th case for her former colleague Jan Martensen ( Devid Striesow ).

action

At the University of Hamburg, Margit Brettschneider gives a lecture on the subject of "Is there a killer gene?" Margit Brettschneider is close friends with Bella Block, who is attending her lecture but is not exactly convinced of the topic itself. Brettschneider's niece Caro, who was found murdered a little later in a fish snack bar where the young woman was working while studying, is also in the lecture hall. It turns out that Caro was pregnant by a married man. Bella Block is investigating this personal case because, even now retired, she simply cannot stay out of it. For them the constellation: married man and pregnant is automatically suspect. When she then learns the name (Max Klöckner), she is sure that the solution to the case can be found here, because shortly before the time of the crime, she had a rear-end collision with her wife. As dissolved and absent-minded as she had experienced Anja Klöckner, there is no other conclusion for her than that she had cleared her rival out of the way. Nevertheless, the evidence is difficult, because at the time of the actual crime, Anja Klöckner was already in hospital. But Bella Block takes small steps on the offensive and can persuade the perpetrator, who is still mentally weak, to confess. Apparently she didn't want any of that. She just wanted to be strong, stronger than the fear of losing her husband.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said: “'Stab ins Herz' is a tragic crime drama in which there can only be 'injured'. Multi-layered, well-built relationship thriller that gives the phenomenon of death back its 'value' to some extent. "

In quotenmeter.de Janosch evaluated Leuffen: "The audience identified with the verbal sharp shooting and wonderfully stubborn Bella Block, suffering parallel and he feels with the depressive betrayed wife. All of this happens without any gimmicky, but also without real surprises, but with a few small inconsistencies. ”“ Nevertheless, the cast succeeds in bringing the scenario to the viewer in an unsophisticated way. ”Conclusion:“ Bella Block's anniversary event comes as a calm, but more exciting and well acted crime thriller. Here and there Wagner's work shows a few weaknesses that minimally diminish the successful overall impression. "

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best rating (thumbs up) and said: “A moving anniversary event about a terribly failed marriage.” “Subtly staged and superbly played.”
