action
By chance, Chief Inspector Ellen Lucas meets her old friend Nele Klausmann again in Regensburg, who, as she tells her, has lived in Regensburg for ten years and is amazed to hear that Ellen also ended up in the town six years ago. Nele spontaneously invites her friend to dinner at home. At the same time, a man who is obviously injured is rushing through the forest. Nele is worried when she cannot reach her husband Eric on his cell phone because he should have been back with the dog a long time ago. Between the women it comes up that Eric had something with another woman in the past. In Eric's files, Nele finds a sheet of paper with the threat: "You will die."
Already with her sister on her way on vacation in Italy, Ellen receives the call that Rike feared and rushes to Nele. The family dog was found in the forest. He was shot. At the same time, Kevin behaves rebelliously in his class towards his class teacher Wolfgang Wagner, which continues in the schoolyard, where the teacher is injured in the hand by Kevin's knife when he intervenes.
At the school where Eric Klausmann is a teacher and Kevin, the son of the Klausmanns, is a student, Lucas learns that Kevin has behavioral problems and that he is threatened with expulsion from school for repeated offenses. Nele is of the opinion that her son's behavior is a cry for help. Dr. Clara Heinrich, the headmistress, tries to make it clear to her that the school's options are limited. Wagner, who is attacked personally by Nele, replies that he is only the one who sets boundaries for the students in contrast to her husband, who is on friendly terms with his students. He points out that he will retire in 48 hours anyway.
It turns out that the threatening letter was written on a school computer. Eric Klausmann is by far the most popular teacher at his school. A video that Lucas and her team are watching shows him to be extremely personable. Wagner, on the other hand, is an old-school teacher, and rumor has it that Klausmann made sure that he is retired early. There is also a betrayed husband - Klaus Huebner. His wife Lisa, the school's sports teacher, had a relationship with Klausmann about a year ago. Meanwhile, his cell phone was found in the forest. The last number he dialed was 110, 911.
The following information is received in quick succession: Wagner says in a questioning by Lucas that Kevin needs something that only his father can give him, attention. Brandl learns from Lisa Hübner that she was also there at the time when Klausmann was in the forest. Abundant material about school rampage is found in Klausmann's locker. Klausmann's car was flashed in the evening.
Ellen learns from Nele that Kevin caught his father in bed with Lisa, since the relationship between the two has been severely disrupted. Nele discovers that her son is organizing target practice in the forest together with Konstantin von Hohenhausen. Then you find Klausmann's car in a parking lot on the Danube. The forensic investigation suggests that the teacher was lying in the trunk and tried to open it from the inside. If Klausmann is still alive, hurry is required. In the Theater AG room someone smeared on the wall: "You will all die."
Trousers with a blood stain that belong to Lisa's husband and were thrown into the clothes bin by her are seized. The police received a call from Konstantin von Hohenhausen's father that one of his automatic weapons had disappeared. When Kevin enters the school with a large bag, security guards surround him. In his pocket, however, there is not a rifle, as suspected, but a self-made model of the school. As he later reluctantly relates, he wanted to give it to his class teacher Wagner as a farewell gift. Kevin now also admits to having sent the mail to his father, but that would be all. When asked about his target practice, he said he did it because it was fun. Konstantin also invited other students to shoot in order to establish contact with them. Kevin makes it clear how disappointed he is that his mother doesn't trust him.
Karl Huebner admits to having seen Klausmann in the forest on the day of his disappearance. He was waiting for him at his car. After he had almost reached his car, Klausmann ran back into the forest because gunshots had been heard. A while had passed, then it was very quiet and he appeared staggering at the edge of the forest. His jacket was full of blood. The dog barked wildly in the car. He could have helped him, yes, but Klausmann took everything from him. He hands Lucas his cell phone with a shaky, blurred video recording. In the film, three people can be seen bending down to Klausmann. It is now certain that the blood on Huebner's trousers came from the dead dog.
After the cell phone recordings have been processed, Konstantin von Hohenhausen, Moritz Schreiner and David Liebrecht can be shown that they were involved in the crime. Lucas bluffs and claims that the gun that was used to shoot Klausmann was seized. Having become insecure, the youngsters get caught up in contradictions, but ultimately admit that Klausmann surprised them during their target practice. Your teacher completely misunderstood that, says Moritz Schreiner, and talked about a planned rampage . Konstantin almost went nuts at the thought that his father would find out that he was at his gun safe. His studies in the USA were at stake. He would have preferred to take the gun from Konny. At that moment, Klausmann attacked him, and a shot was released. After Lucas had already described to him before what would happen if Klausmann was only found dead, he finally says where the teacher has been hidden. Klausmann is found alive and can still be treated in good time. It seems as if father and son are finding each other again.

criticism
The lexicon of international films spoke of a "series crime thriller against the background of school attacks, which once again demands a good deal of psychological sensitivity from its protagonist."
kino.de was of the opinion that the story got "additional charm" through "its connection with an educational level": "An alternative to the committed teacher", who also tries to establish personal contact with his students when they have problems, is " a colleague (Jochen Striebeck) from the old school who does not want to be loved but respected ”. In a certain sense, this also applies to the film: “Berger staged [e] distanced. Together with the investigator, one remains emotionally uninvolved as a spectator; none of the figures offer themselves as a popular figure. That doesn't detract from the thrill of the thriller, especially since Berger narrates very densely thanks to the many plot twists. [...] The most haunting [are] the various scenes in which the adults are provoked by the adolescents and react completely helplessly. "
For Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach.tv this case was “an ostensibly exciting crime thriller, but not the highlight of the ZDR series, which is rich in highlights. Too many smoke candles, too much German thoughtfulness rhetoric ”. The critic went on to judge: “The conventional aspect of the story can also be found in the staging: everything is told and photographed in any way, not as perfect as the last little crime fiction gems from Regensburg. Everything that otherwise seems so intense, the great intuition, the feel of the title heroine, which is often inscribed in the form and photography of the films, whether Kriener or camera, everything usually seems highly concentrated - all of this runs empty in this overconstructed episode and is reversed in its effect. "
Kai-Oliver Derks from Teleschau saw it very differently, who found that this crime thriller was one of the “best of the series” so far. “His title 'When everything breaks' could not have been chosen more aptly.” The critic spoke of a “precise and compelling story”. In conclusion, Derks stated: “Thomas Berger, who wrote the book together with Georg Heinzen, takes up an eternally topical topic. It's about neglected, marginalized young people - from good and bad families alike. Certainly made under the impression of the Winnenden rampage, the film deals with the sensitive topic carefully without exaggerating. It's just a shame that in the end the motive for the kidnapping appears a bit thin, leaving a somewhat stale aftertaste. "
