action

In the Munich district of Schwabing Armin Riester is found dead. The victim was strangled with floral wire and tied to a street lamp. The three investigators Angelika Flierl, Harald Neuhauser and Ludwig Schaller find out that Riester inherited houses in Schwabing and driven out long -established tenants in his greed for profit . This sometimes had existential consequences for those affected. One of the suspects is Lukas Gutsch, whose parents were fired by Riester, which so upset Gutsch senior that soon afterwards he succumbed to a heart attack. Likewise, the second-hand bookshop owner Fridolin Kitzing and his daughter Mia, who found the dead, are among the suspects, as well as the landlord Thorsten Schuck, who will not be able to keep his restaurant "Landvogt" due to Riester's measures.

During the investigation, however, Flierl, Neuhauser and Schaller repeatedly come across Rudolf Fallmerayer, known as "Türken-Rudi" (named after Türkenstrasse ). He is a city original and old Schwabing rocker with his own band called "Max V" (named after the Maxvorstadt ). Heinzi and Girgl also belong to the rock band . During his lifetime, Riester tied up with Sara Berghof, the daughter of Gutsch's friend, which her mother Amalie and her grandfather, the Turk-Rudi, really disliked. According to Türkenrudi, Riester also had a social streak and financially took care of a paraplegic friend in Switzerland.

The flower wire with which Riester was murdered may have come from the flower shop of the florist Jacobi, who is in a relationship with Turkic rudi. Gutsch's fingerprints are also found in Riester's apartment. Gutsch also has no alibi for the time of the crime and is therefore temporarily arrested.

Flierl, who wanted to meet the landlord Thorsten Schuck privately in the “Landvogt”, is knocked down there and Schuck is found dead. Neuhauser assumes that the two murders are related, while Flierl and Schaller initially doubt this. In addition to Gutsch's fingerprints, Fallmerayer's are also found in Riester's apartment. Schaller therefore suspects that Fallmerayer left the flower wire for his two bandmates Heinzi and Girgl on the night of the murder in order to give them a clear signal. During their interrogation, the two stated that they had ravaged Riester's apartment in his presence on behalf of Rudi in order to intimidate Riester. The situation had escalated and Heinzi had strangled Riester with the flower wire. Both of them would then have tied Riester to the lantern, and Mia Kitzing would have happened to see her while she was walking her dog. Heinzi admits that Thorsten Schuck was also killed when he was in affect because he wanted to sell his restaurant to a burger chain and the band would have lost the opportunity to perform. Basically, Schaller blames Türkenrudi for the murders, even if it hadn't lent a hand, so he had influenced his bandmates in such a way that they thought they had to please him with their activities.

reception

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv wrote that a generational conflict and cultural war were targeted through the back door of a crime thriller. The duo of authors show their attitude, but don't swear the viewer cheaply to cultural pessimism and melancholy. You can feel a bit of melancholy and at the same time a lot of energy that is in the staging with its surreal moments.

Wilfried Geldner found in the Weser-Kurier that the director had left no place, no street and no pub in West-Schwabing as a location. The cafés, pubs and antique shops would make illustrious scenes, the suspects and witnesses move in them "like in a hidden object ". If everything gets too sad, cabaret moments would help. “Meanwhile, in real life, the excavators in Schwabing are still tearing their gaps in the streets. It almost seems as if the film was months or years late. "

In Germany, the film was seen by 4.98 million people when it was first broadcast, with a market share of 18.3 percent.
