Heimatliebe is a television film from the crime series Polizeiruf 110 . The 378th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 was first broadcast on August 25, 2019. It is the 15th case of Chief Inspector Olga Lenski and the seventh with Chief Inspector Adam Raczek.
action
At the beginning Raczek is looking for the victim of violence, whose severed fingers children accidentally found while walking the dog. The questioning of the Polish doctor who first treated the wound reveals the strange behavior of the man concerned, who wanted to remain anonymous and insisted on paying the medical services in cash. Raczek decides to keep looking for this mysterious man.
At the Polish police headquarters, a new single parent emergency at Lenski, who had to bring her elementary school daughter to work because of an unforeseeable loss of teachers due to a lack of alternatives, no longer only led to shaking of the head, but to small culture clash conflicts with Polish colleagues. Raczek lets out his incomprehension so indignantly that Lenski has to give him verbal contradiction in an equally spirited manner.
On a late summer night, all of the cattle belonging to the Polish farmer Wojciech Sekula were brutally killed by setting fire to the stable building. The building burns to the ground; the farmer's partner comments on this as the ultimate death knell for the economic viability of even the previous subsistence farm . The farmer himself doesn't want to see it that way. A few days later, Wojciech was beaten to death in another attack in which he faced the attackers on his farm in Zimowe Pole near the Oder. Olga Lenski and Adam Raczek begin their investigations, in which the older brother of the dead man, the craftsman Andrzej Sekula, comes under suspicion. When questioned, the flags in his workshop identify him as a supporter of an extremely nationalist right-wing group in Poland. He presents himself to the binational investigators as completely uncooperative and hostile in view of the German-speaking policewoman Lenski, so that Raczek has to intervene against the pronounced insults.
On the way to the scene of the crime, the two investigators come across a street-blocking protest by the local rural population against the loss of fertile arable land due to acquisitions by western agribusiness corporations. The leader of the protesters is related to the farmer Sekula. Only with the blue light flashing does Raczek force her through the roadblock. The enervating experience gives Adam Raczek the opportunity to share with Lenski his considerable background knowledge of the contemporary economic conflicts over the displacement of peasants in Poland. Apparently the farmers can hardly afford to lease the arable land they need. Lenski is amazed to learn that land grabbing is not just a Third World issue, but an acute problem in Poland.
background

Reviews
"Unrestricted boundaries, uprooting, small town citizens, big man's dreams - the" police call "sums up quite well the mixture of contradicting feelings that provide the breeding ground for the extremist concept of home. Filmmaker Bach occasionally gets bogged down in the almost equal exploration of the different nationalist currents, but he also delivers brilliant little scenes over and over again about the rifts in a Europe that has long since been ununited and is almost falling apart again. "
“The detective chief inspectors Lenski and Raczek meet Polish right-wing extremists, German self-administrators, agricultural speculators and poisonous prejudices. The film thus paints a gloomy panorama of the political present. With this "police call", screenwriter and director Christian Bach succeeds in creating a largely cliché-free Sunday evening thriller, for which one can be grateful to him. This thriller from RBB is not a standard product. You can see that in the outstanding camera work by Wolfgang Aichholzer. The shots of the Oder landscape in the fog, the fields, the enchanted border region, are reminiscent of thrillers from Scandinavia. "
"How close Germany and Poland are, how intricate the life stories are, is shown by the small dialogue that began in Polish between Raczek and a female doctor, until they both recognize their German character in the Rhineland and the Ruhr area. An elegant move that touches the biography of the actor Lucas Gregorowicz, who grew up in Bochum and who, precisely because of this hyphenated identity, is the ideal cast for the Polish-German police call. "
“Heimatliebe”, the seventh “Polizeiruf 110” for the homicide squad in the German-Polish border area, is targeting the landscape more than ever. Christian Bach's film, his first TV production after his highly acclaimed cinema debut “Hirngespinster”, is told like a Western: The wide country not only takes on an atmospheric function, but also the themes and motifs of this original American genre play a central role in of history: the border, one's own land, the enemy, the landowner and the eternal struggle between individual freedom and the star of the law. "
“In“ Heimatliebe ”not only the topic is gambled away, the connections seem banal [...]. Lenski and Raczek plague themselves with incomprehension, while one waits for the Gudrun-Ritter moment, or perhaps the Hissler-Ritter moment of great acting, and twiddles one's thumbs. "
