action

As has so often been the case recently, Brigitte and Günter Perlbach are already arguing at the breakfast table. Both want to cross over from Stralsund to the island of Hiddensee as planned in the afternoon to visit Brigitte's parents. They also want to visit their daughter, who gave both of them to their grandparents four weeks ago because of increasingly frequent marital disputes. Both go to work beforehand, Günter drives his Wartburg. At excessive speed he races down a village street lined with apple trees and too late sees the boy Sven, who is picking up some apples on the road on the way to school. The car catches the boy. Günter reacts in a panic. He leaves the heavily bleeding and lifeless boy and commits a hit and run . Sven is found a little later and taken to the hospital. His life can be saved. However, the injuries to the right leg are so severe that it has to be amputated.

Captain Peter Fuchs takes over the investigation. At the scene of the accident, traces of paint on the car were found, as were the remains of the destroyed rear light. A large-scale review of all blue cars in Stralsund and the surrounding area begins. Günter's car is soon found: he had given it to a friend for repairs. Günter himself had missed the agreed ferry to Hiddensee and took a later one. Brigitte receives him coolly, even if the couple are friendly to each other because of the daughter's presence. At dinner, however, Brigitte tells her mother that she is going to divorce Günter. There has long been no love in marriage and everyone blames the other for the end of the marriage. Brigitte only has to do with her work as a photographer, while Günter hides behind his model kits.

On the radio, Günter hears the search for the person who caused the accident. In the evening he reports to Brigitte about the accident and the child who was left behind. Brigitte convinces him to face the police immediately the next morning. While Peter Fuchs is translating from the mainland to Hiddensee the next morning to arrest Günter, he is on a ferry to the mainland with Brigitte. On the way he imagines the reactions of those around him and tries to guess what prison sentence is due. He pretends to get some fresh air and throws himself off the ferry into the Schaproder Bodden. Brigitte looks for him a little later and finally alerts the crew that her husband has disappeared. The ship immediately turns around and the search for Günter begins. Peter Fuchs' ship also takes part, as do fishermen from the island of Hiddensee to help. Günter's body cannot be found, however. He only had to swim 50 meters to Hiddensee to have solid ground under his feet again, one of the helpers points out.

In fact, Günter managed to escape back to Hiddensee. He has no friends on the island, so he changes into his summer date and finally goes to his friend Falstaff, who has an inn on the island. Here both drink together until Günter tells him about his act. Falstaff reacts horrified and indignant. He forces Günter to call the police and finally brings him personally to the waiting investigators.

production

The accident was filmed from October 1 to December 15, 1981 under the working title Überfahrt in Stralsund , Rostock and on the islands of Rügen and Hiddensee . The costumes of the film created Barbara Voigt , the Filmbauten come from Andreas mosquito . The film premiered on September 5, 1982 in the first program of GDR television. The audience participation was 58.9 percent.

It was the 80th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 . Captain Peter Fuchs was investigating his 49th case. The criticism noted that Mosblech, as a "moralist among the 'police shout' authors [...] treated this offense [the hit-and-run] with the same thoroughness as any other capital crime". In addition, he portrayed in the film the “necessity of a harmonious family life for the development of a child in parallel montages between the two families”. Sven grew up in the village with his parents, while Tina Perlbach was deported as a child by quarreling townspeople to live with her grandmother.
