action
The director Osso Toregger, unsuccessful in Hollywood, is making a love film in Bad Tölz based on Goethe's novel Die Wahlverwandationenen . His old school friend Benno Berghammer also tried his hand at acting. One morning Toregger finds the corpse of Jana Fitz, his lover, who plays a leading role in the film, in the swimming pool of his villa. Inspector Berghammer and his colleague Nadine Richter start the investigation and learn from Osso Toregger that Jana Fitz was three months pregnant by him. Toregger's wife Wally makes it seem like her husband's love affair wasn't a problem for her.
Public Prosecutor Dr. Georg Lenz pulls Benno Berghammer off the case because of bias, but this does not prevent the commissioner from further investigating privately.
According to coroner Dr. Robert Sprung, Jana Fitz died of a mushroom poison that was mixed with an algae juice. The exact time of death cannot be determined because the poison does not take effect until six to eight hours after ingestion. On the waist of the dead there is a not yet fully healed tattoo with Japanese characters.
Osso Toregger is convinced that the poison attack was actually aimed at him, especially since he is the only one who drinks seaweed juice every morning. Because of his past as a porn film producer, he is constantly exposed to hostility and was also attacked in front of his villa.
The inspectors pay Shanna Moser a visit because Jana Fitz has been called several times from her esoteric bookstore; Osso Toregger also received threatening calls from the same line. Ms. Moser says that she has nothing to do with it; her employee and son Jim would also have access to the telephone line. Shanna and Jim Moser only want to have known Jana Fitz by sight, and they give each other an alibi for the previous evening.
In a tattoo studio, Nadine Richter learns that the Japanese characters on the victim's hip stand for “eternity” and “love”. The owner not only engraved Jana Fitz but also Jim Moser with this motif.
While the search is on for Jim Moser, it turns out that prosecutor Lenz has invested in a media fund from which funds have flowed into Toregger's film production. The prosecutor, who is uncomfortable with this fact, suggests to Commissioner Berghammer that the whole matter be forgotten and entrusts him with the investigation again.
When Berghammer and Richter conduct further interrogations in Toregger's villa, Jim Moser climbs over the garden wall with a baseball bat, but is intercepted by the bodyguards. He agrees to make a statement at the police station, but then runs away.
The inspectors learn from Shanna Moser that Osso Toregger is Jim's father. She told him the day after Jana's death; Jim, on the other hand, still doesn't know about his producer. Mrs. Moser withdraws the alibi for her son; she claims to have been with Osso Toregger at the time in question.
Osso Toregger is knocked down by a burglar with a baseball bat at night, and he is not seriously injured. His firearm was lost in the break-in. Wally Toregger suspects Jim Moser to be behind it because he may have felt neglected by his father. Eventually, however, it turns out that the Toreggers orchestrated the robbery to cast suspicion on Jim Moser. The commissioners assume that Jana Fitz had to die because Osso Toregger was jealous of her. According to Wally Toregger, his spermatic cords were cut during plastic surgery, so he can't be the child's father. The genetic analysis confirms a relationship between Jana's child and Osso Toregger, but the agreement is not high enough. So it seems reasonable to assume that Jim Moser fathered the child.
Jim Moser forces Osso Toregger at gunpoint to drive him to the cemetery chapel, where Jana Fitz is laid out. Toregger should see again with his own eyes what he has done. Jim doesn't want to admit that Osso is his father; he just wants him to admit the act. Toregger says he wanted to kill himself but was too weak to ingest the poisoned juice. Suddenly Jana stood in front of him, the glass in her hand, then she drank it up. He wanted to prevent her from doing it, but he was paralyzed. When Jim points the gun at him, the inspectors arrive and try to dissuade him from his plan. Osso Toregger begs his son to pull the trigger and asks his forgiveness. Then his weakened heart finally fails.
