I didn't mean that is a German crime film by Peter Hagen from 1986. The television film was released as the 108th episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 .
action
Photographer Martha Curth lives with her housekeeper Klara Euler and her adult son in a villa in a posh area in Dresden above the Blue Wonder . There are often arguments between Martha and Klara, but the two women cannot live without each other: Klara saved Martha's life when the city was bombed in 1945 . Martha took in Klara, who was almost of legal age, employed her in her photo studio and later as a housekeeper. When Martha gave birth to their son Wolfgang, Klara raised him. Klara remained unmarried all her life, but always wanted children. Martha's main interest was and is her fortune, which she wants to increase steadily. She is greedy, stingy and humanly cold. She lends money for valuables and in return draws up contracts that award her part of the seized goods in the event of late repayment. Singer Müller-Salchow traded in a third Anna who did not belong to him. He wants the figure back early in exchange for a partial repayment of the debt, but Martha refuses. Müller-Salchow finally reports them to the police.
Klara's friend Mrs. Klein is supposed to sell a chain valued at 15,000 marks for her neighbor Schmidt. She helps a mother to get the stroller off the track. She doesn't manage to get back on the train in time. Her bag with the jewelry is in the departing tram, and she cannot find it again. Ms. Klein tries desperately to get 15,000 marks for Mrs. Schmidt, who has a heart condition. She sells valuables and a television set, but 8,000 marks remain open. One day she meets Klara, who wants to stand up for Martha, but Martha demands security from Frau Klein that she cannot give. Klara is outraged, but later tries again to get Martha to help. Martha again agrees, but mocks Mrs. Klein when she appears in the house. Those who cannot take care of the jewelry entrusted to them will not pay back the money they have borrowed and are unreliable. Since Ms. Klein Klara cannot offer any security, but only work, she leaves. Outraged, Klara takes 8,000 marks from Martha's cash box and places it in front of Martha's eyes for Frau Klein.
On the way home, Ms. Klein remembers that she has a valuable box that she could offer Martha as security. She returns to the house with the door open. Martha is dead in the living room, but Frau Klein only has eyes for the 8,000 marks that are still on the table. She takes the money and leaves. A neighbor watches her come and go. When Wolfgang appears a little later, he finds his mother dead. Klara comes towards him from the upper floor with a shock and is sent to bed by him.
Oberleutnant Lutz Zimmermann and Lieutenant Thomas Grawe take over the investigation. Martha was killed with a vase of flowers. First of all, Ms. Klein is targeted by the investigators, as Klara does not tell the investigators that she was in the villa, but the neighbor describes her visits. After a long period of agony of conscience, Ms. Klein confesses to her daughter that she took the 8,000 marks from the dead Martha. Her daughter accompanies Ms. Klein to the police station.
Klara stated that she went shopping at the time of the crime. In front of Wolfgang she becomes entangled in contradictions and finally admits to having killed Martha in an argument. Nevertheless, she plans a new life together with Wolfgang and his heavily pregnant girlfriend, as she was a surrogate mother for Wolfgang. Only when Wolfgang informs her that he cannot pretend that nothing happened, Klara confronts her act. She packs her things and gets ready to be arrested. The investigators have since learned from the neighbor that Klara never left the house on the day of the incident. Her shock at a time when, according to her own statements, she could not have known anything about Martha's death, make her appear as the perpetrator. Ms. Klein's statement that Martha was already dead on her second visit fits into the suspicion pattern. When the investigators ring Klara again, she is already waiting with her bags packed. She allows herself to be led away and dutifully locks the door of the villa before leaving.
