Commissioner Lucas - Dead Earth

The Invisible is a German TV film by Sabine Bernardi from 2020 . It is the 30th episode of the crime film series Kommissarin Lucas with Ulrike Kriener in the title role. The film was broadcast for the first time on August 29, 2020 on ZDF as part of the “The Saturday Crime” series .

action

After the corpse of an Eastern European man was found, Chief Detective Ellen Lucas investigated in the Regensburg building environment. There she encounters glaring grievances that her entire team demands to be cleared up. The new Regensburg public prosecutor Stefan Walch is also very interested in the case, as he has been targeting the suspected building contractor Walter-Maria Bäucker for some time.

While Lucas and Walch try to penetrate the thicket of the system of exploitation of well-trained workers from Eastern Europe, Lucas' superior Boris Noethen is skeptical of the new public prosecutor. But Walch's exuberant energy is of great benefit to Lucas' way of working and her colleague Tom succeeds in smuggling his colleague Tom into the construction site as a worker.

criticism

Tilmann P. Gangloff praised the episode on evangelisch.de because it combines sophisticated crime entertainment with one concern: to draw attention to the fate of workers in the Balkans who work as day laborers. “They are recruited every morning on what is known as a workers' strike. Your placement is pitiful. If they are cheated out of their wages, they cannot even defend themselves ”.

In the TV magazine prisma, Hans Czerny complained that the film lacked tension. The crime thriller is full of scandals, but at some point every aspect of illegal work will be lamented in dialogue: “The Commissioner has to preach a lot - the tension falls far short. A hearty political thriller does not want to be from the good piece. "

background
