action

Immediately after his release from prison, Arndt Weinert visits the wedding of his once great love without being asked. In front of the wedding guests, he fights with the bridegroom. Later he meets him again in the basement of an empty house, where Weinert had hidden the money from his stolen goods. Again both get into an argument. Shortly after Weinert leaves the premises, the house explodes and the new husband can only be recovered dead.

The new commissioner Johanna Herz arrives at the scene of the accident and is received by police chief Horst Krause. She questions the wedding guests still present in the village and learns about the uninvited guest the day before, who is immediately taken by everyone to be the perpetrator. Various indications also speak for it and so the manhunt against Arndt Weinert is initiated. After Herz can almost confront him, he still manages to escape and he hides.

Commissioner Herz suspects that Arndt and Rene committed the gas station robberies, for which he spent three years in prison. He had never betrayed his accomplice and now possibly got him out of the way, after he had stolen his girlfriend as well as the money. However, Arndt fights doggedly for his freedom and declares that he is not to blame for Rene's death. The Commissioner also had doubts when she discovered that the burned down building was part of a site that an investor would need for an amusement park. But after further research it becomes clear that the country's house was being considered for asylum accommodation, which the villagers wanted to prevent at all costs. Since Rene Grabow needed money for his surf school, which he wanted to open, he had taken on the task of lighting the house. For this purpose he had deposited various propane gas bottles in the cellar of the house and was disturbed by Arndt in his activities and put down during the argument. Since the house did not burn at the agreed time, the mayor Thea Weinert had wanted to check and end the action. Little did she know that Rene was lying there unconscious and would be killed by the fire.

criticism

Jochen Hung writes for the Berliner Zeitung and comes to the conclusion: “The director Bodo Fürneisen made it important to distinguish himself from the other broadcasters that produce the police call on a 'comedic track'. [...] For Fürneisen, the story is more important than the investigators. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave it a medium rating (thumbs to the side) and wrote: “Brandenburg crime thriller with a pale story”.
