action

An accident occurs on a construction site when a built-in platform beam breaks and parts of the building collapse, burying a worker. First Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner is entrusted with the investigation. It is the second time that such an accident has happened on a construction site. The first time worker Gernot Siebenkorn was injured and subsequently lost his eyesight. Investigations reveal that the platform beams have left the concrete plant checked. The pedestal beams that were installed were forgeries whose reinforcement pieces were cast too short. Nobody knows where the fakes came from.

Gernot has suspicions, but is not ready to speak openly about them, he is too preoccupied with his own situation. With the help of Anna Möller, who is also blind, he learns to master his life anew. He begins to play the guitar again and learns to write Braille on a machine. He is also slowly learning to read Braille. Besides Anna, visitors to his house include Erwin Kampe, who runs a material warehouse right next to Gernot's apartment, from which the defective pedestal beams were also delivered. The camp was broken into twice in a row. Among other things, sanitary facilities worth more than 40,000 marks are stolen. Gernot has more and more the impression that Erwin is guilty, but he cannot report his friend to the police. When an anonymous 1000 marks were sent to Gernot, his wife Marion Erwin asked whether he had a guilty conscience. By pointing out that everyone has a guilty conscience, Erwin tries to approach Marion, but she turns him away indignantly.

The police investigations have meanwhile been able to prove Erwin as the perpetrator. Other falsified pedestal beams were found in his warehouse. The report of an ABV finally leads the investigators to a barn in which Erwin had the goods stolen from his warehouse stored. The castings for the platform beams are also stored here. Erwin has given the goods required for the state housing program to another building project on a large scale and earned a lot of money from it. When the goods were needed for the actual construction, he forged components and thus endangered the lives of his employees. In the meantime, Gernot has taken notes on conversations that were going on on the construction site and burdened Erwin and handed over the notes to Anna, who took them to the police. The investigators arrest Erwin.

production

Information in Braille was filmed in Berlin from April 20 to July 20, 1982 . The costumes of the film created Dorit Gründel that Filmbauten derived from Werner Pieske . The film premiered on January 2, 1983 in the first program of East German television. The audience participation was 51.2 percent.

It was the 82nd episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 . Lieutenant Jürgen Huebner investigated his 39th case. The criticism stated that the film focused entirely on the character of the victim Gernot, as the perpetrator Kampe quickly became known to the viewer. “The tension shifts completely to the self-discovery process of Gernot Siebenkorn, who has to learn to 'see' in his blindness not only in the literal but also in the figuratively figurative sense, and the main actor Dieter Mann demonstrates this process in a downright oppressive way , oscillating between a new courage to face life and despair.
