A German television film from 2013 , produced by Zeitsprung Picture for Sat.1 , is nothing like it was before .
action
The eleven year old Fabian was abused and murdered. Because eyewitnesses saw 16-year-old Daniel Gudermann near the crime scene, the police want to arrest him. When the Gudermanns' doorbell rings and Daniel wants to speak, he runs away - making himself suspicious. He is taken away in front of the neighbors. A classmate films him. Shortly thereafter, the video of Daniel's arrest was posted on the Internet. The citizens of the small town have passed their judgment: Daniel must be the murderer. An unbearable smear campaign against him, his parents Claudia and Ulli and his siblings Emma and Theo begins. Soko director Udo Mathias acts confidently despite the pressure from the population and the media. The young chief inspector Leonie Ahrens, however, wants to quickly convict Daniel as a perpetrator. His alibi has broken and there are traces of the crime scene on his clothes. She is counting on him to confess.
While his mother defends Daniel with tooth and nail and believes in his innocence, his father becomes suspicious - especially since he finds a page for homosexual men on Daniel's laptop. The previous life of the family is turned off its hinges. When a police officer checks the clues again, it is found that Daniel is probably innocent. Photos showing the perpetrator make it clear that the perpetrator was wearing a jacket with a club logo. This leads the police to Tobias Sauer. He confesses the act.
Thereupon Daniel is released from custody and taken home. There there is a collision with his father. Daniel cannot forgive him for doubting his innocence. Shortly after the argument, he leaves the house and runs to the lake. His sister Emma follows him and he confesses that he was at the lake at the time of the crime because he finally wanted to tell the neighbor's son Sven, who regularly ran his laps there, what he felt about him. That didn't happen because Sven was out with his younger sister that day.
At the end of the film, Daniel goes back to school.
background
During the investigation into the murder case "Lena" in Emden and the arrest of a suspect, vigilante justice was called on Facebook and publicly. After the suspect was found to be innocent, there were a number of expressions of solidarity. This inspired the makers of the TV drama to make their film.
The shooting took place from February 14 to March 18, 2013 in North Rhine-Westphalia . Bergheim near Troisdorf can be seen at least in the aerial photo . The satellite image of the crime scene also shows the Rheinaue there. The Gudermann family's film car is actually registered in the Rhein-Sieg district .
The Dorint Hotel Bonn on the Venusberg served as the “Waldhotel” for the shooting .
In the film scene, the act took place in the Rhine meadows of the fictional city of Halden. According to the public prosecutor, the police inspection of the real Mettmann district should be responsible here . The district bordering the Rhine is actually Monheim am Rhein , where the Otto Hahn Gymnasium is also located, a counterpart, but obviously not the location, the Otto Hahn schools in the film plot.

Reviews
Spiegel Online headlined Frier, Freude, Eierkuchen? You don't expect anything big at the Sat.1 movies on Tuesday with faces like Annette Frier. And yet it is occasionally surprised - as in the lynch mob drama “Nothing like before”, which is based on the real “Lena murder case”. With Jonas Nay, the director " couldn't find a better actor for the proud and yet vulnerable youth."
The WAZ described the drama as a "brilliant Sat.1 film". "The film tells its story consistently from the perspective of the victim, the victim [...]" and "clearly shows that many people in the city are not at all interested in a level-headed clarification of the disturbing case" [... ] and also make it clear that “some contemporaries hide in the indignant crowd in order to bully with impunity and, preferably, even to take vigilante justice.” Jürgen Overkott found that the director and screenwriter also took a critical look at the police on site, especially at the ambitious young police officer (Bernadette Heerwagen) [...] throw.
The online TV magazine Quotenmeter.de said that the film "despite small weaknesses in the staging and a bumpy start a prominent contribution of the German drama television film became [was]."
"A judicial thriller, constructed based on an authentic murder case, which deals with questions about the dignity of the victim and the accused in a differentiated manner and, not least thanks to convincing performance, realizes the subject of prejudice appropriately and in an exciting way."
Audience ratings
The premiere on September 24, 2013 saw 3.27 million people. In the advertising-relevant target group of 14 to 49 year olds, the film achieved a market share of 12.5%.
