action

A girl is found dead under a bridge. At first everything points to suicide , but Chief Detective Ellen Lucas immediately has doubts. A new assistant is at her side in her investigation: Judith Marlow. Establishing the identity of the dead is difficult because there are hardly any clues. The girl's face is badly disfigured by the fall, so that you cannot go public with a photo and there is no suitable missing person report. Inspector Tom Brauer can locate a discotheque where the girl was probably a guest and Inspector Lucas comes across a report on two students who haven't been to school for seven weeks. She investigates and finds Peter Schwertz, a dropout who lives with his daughters in temporary accommodation in the forest. His wife has separated from him and can be found. She identifies the dead girl as her sixteen-year-old daughter Johanna.

Ellen Lucas tries to find the exact whereabouts of Peter Schwertz and therefore contacts the district forester Henning Niemeyer. However, she cannot cope with the large forest area alone and therefore requests a dog team. In this way it is possible to locate the Schwertz camp, but it is empty. Lucas searches on alone, but falls into a crevice from which she cannot free herself again without help. With all the annoyance about this mishap, the quiet in the forest is good for you. It wasn't until late at night that she discovered a rope ladder and was able to escape her “prison”.

The next day Monika Schwertz takes her younger daughter Jessica to the police station. She ran away from her father and since her mother knew that the police were looking for her and her father, she brought the girl over. The commissioner learns from her that Johanna was “engaged” to Henning Niemeyer. So Niemeyer is interviewed and he admits that he had an argument with Johanna that evening. When she ran away he was looking for her and followed her. Then he saw her on the bridge, where she argued with Hansi, the mentally handicapped son of the disco operator. Due to Hansi's handicap, it cannot be found out whether Johanna fell into the depths accidentally and through her own fault, or whether the handicapped Hansi might have pushed her.

Reviews

Harald Keller from Tittelbach.tv said: The forest is “a story about extravagant, sometimes failed life plans, about psychological abuse not only among the suspects. The investigators, too, suffer, not in that spectacular manner by being involved in their cases in forced volatility, but every day, from the sum of their life experiences. And sometimes still show humor in all of this. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm said: "A dry thriller full of psychological and fairytale metaphors, but entertaining."

TV Today assessed: “Ralf Huettner made a strange, bulky film there - a crime thriller that drags on a bit, a family drama that is only touched upon, a grotesque that doesn't want to be, populated with partly weird, partly pale characters and fairy tale motifs. Is it about generation conflicts? For wish and will? Responsibility? One does not know. The forest is probably a psychometric metaphor that we don't get, and the path is the goal. "
