Sketch of a Dead is a ZDF film that is part of the series Kommissarin Lucas . Thomas Berger directed the 2006 television film. Ellen Lucas ( Ulrike Kriener ) is investigating her fifth case in a Turkish family and is confronted with the problems of Muslims in Germany and their discriminatory ideas about the role of women and the importance of family honor. In addition to Idil Üner , Jan Gregor Kremp and René Ifrah as the main guest stars, Stefanie von Poser , Tobias Oertel , Sissy Höfferer and Andreas Borcherding can also be seen.
action
Karin Berling is murdered on the street. When trying to help her, an officer from the personal protection department is fatally injured, so the LKA is working on the case. The victim was friends with the Muslim Cengiz Özgür and so detective chief inspector Ellen Lucas believes it is possible that the Özgür family disliked this connection and then took action. A visit to the Turkish family does not support this assumption, however, because Karin Berling is said to have been ready to become a Muslim.
Further investigations lead to the lawyer and women's rights activist Tansu Nasiri, for whom Karin Berling worked as a legal assistant. Nasiri has been receiving personal protection for months as she is repeatedly threatened by Muslim extremists. The attack could therefore also have been a mix-up. Klaus Webert, the ex-boyfriend of the victim, emphatically accuses Cengiz Özgür of the crime. He says that Karin has been very afraid of Özgür since she started working at Nasiri. When Lucas talks about it with the lawyer, there is suddenly another attack on the lawyer. Both women are shot at with a large-caliber rifle, and the commissioner is slightly injured. Undeterred, however, she continues her search for Karin Berling's murderer. Cengiz's sister Leyla Özgür could be an important witness, but she remains silent. In order to get any further, Lucas thinks a large-scale operation is necessary. With the support of the SEK , Cengiz Özgür and his brother Mehmet are arrested on suspicion of having committed the attacks on the lawyer and of killing Karin Berling and the security guard. However, neither the murder weapon nor any other evidence was found during the house search.
Inspector Lucas tries to get the brothers to confess. She confronts her with the results of her investigation, because she found out that Karin was more in love with Mehmet than with Cengiz and wanted to end her relationship with him. However, the code of honor of Turkish families forbids one brother to take the wife away from the other. Karin, however, did not care, she had chosen Mehmet, which in turn could not allow. In the middle of the interrogation, the Turk Yilmaz Kelek storms into the presidium and takes a hostage. He demands that Cengiz Özgür should be handed over to him. A few months ago, Özgür violated his sister, who then hanged herself. When a scuffle breaks out, Mehmet Özgür comes within range of Kelek, who seriously injures him with his knife. When he is taken to the hospital, the head of the family, Cemal Özgür, explains that his son Mehmet killed Karin.
Yilmaz Kelek can be convicted of having carried out the attacks on the lawyer.

criticism
Tilmann P. Gangloff from tittelbach.tv said appreciatively: “Author Jochen Brunow has composed an extremely complex plot, which director Thomas Berger has exaggerated, which does justice to the difficult subject as well as the character and thus the broadcast slot: The film always remains a crime thriller even if you occasionally lose track of things with the Commissioner; but that cannot be avoided in this web of honor and relationship drama. Its implementation is even better than the story: Thanks to a dynamic, but never hectic camera (Torsten Breuer) and extremely precise actors, Berger has succeeded in creating a gripping crime thriller with an extraordinary level of tension, which even increases in a dramatic final third. "
In Quotenmeter.de Manuel Weis evaluated: "With 'sketch of a dead' with the author Jochen Brunow a really exciting Saturday night thriller succeeded. If you only read the table of contents, you might think that the topic “conflict with a Muslim family” is being chewed through for the thirtieth time. But this is by no means the case. The film tries to approach the subject without prejudice - which it does very well. In any case, the production deserves the title 'realistic'. "
The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm only gave it a medium rating (thumbs straight) and found it: “Extremely full and heavy with dialogue”.
