action

After weeks at sea, Mario Sander is returning home. His lover Sibylle awaits him in the crowd at the harbor, as does his wife Petra with his youngest child. Mario goes to his wife and Sibylle turns back disappointed. She is followed by a man who ensnares her, but whom she leaves at the front door. It is about Arno Großer, who introduces himself to single women as "Egon" and robs and abandons the women after a night together. Left behind by Sibylle, Arno quickly finds a replacement in her neighbor Gerda Preißler. She becomes the first woman he is serious with, even if he continues his raid through other bedrooms in the period that follows.

Mario's return home creates tension in the Sander family. Mario and Petra have three children, including the two teenagers Sven and Nicole. They hate the father because he cheats on the mother. Petra attempted suicide in Mario's absence because she is about to break apart under the behavior of the man she loves. Mario, however, hardly touches the family's suffering. He just has a guilty conscience because Petra has given up her job for him and is looking after his mother as well as the three children. The vaguely guilty conscience also prevents him from filing for divorce and marrying Sibylle. So he stands between the two women and cannot make up his mind - a situation that doesn't seem to displease him. One day Sibylle is dead. She was killed with a hard object, which cannot be found in her apartment. Captain Peter Fuchs transfers the investigation to Lieutenant Lutz Zimmermann, who is on vacation with his parents not far from the crime scene in Stralsund . He knew the journalist Sibylle personally. They had only spoken to each other shortly before she died.

At first Zimmermann, who is supported in his investigation by the local lieutenant Rolf Schön, suspects that the woman was a victim of Egon. Although he usually refrains from violence in his acts, it could have gone further than usual. When Egon tries to seduce the showman Ms. Mittelstädt and rob her, he is caught and interrogated. It turns out that Egon alias Arno Großer was with Gerda Preissler during the time of the crime. So he fails as the perpetrator. However, a witness saw Mario's daughter Nicole run out of Sibylle's house at the time in question. Nicole says that she wanted to get her father, but only saw the dead Sibylle in the apartment. Her grandmother had advised her not to tell anyone about what she found, as it was enough if one had killed the other. The rest of the family has an alibi: Mario was with Sibylle until early in the morning, but then went for a walk. The investigators judge his shock at the news of Sibylle's death to be real, especially since he lacks a motive. Petra would have a motive, but was asleep at the time of the crime because she had taken two sleeping pills, which Mario's mother could testify. The old Mrs. Sander, on the other hand, has severe hip problems, so that she cannot be trusted to do something. Nevertheless, in the end, Lutz Zimmermann found her to be a murderer. Like Petra, she suffered from the behavior of Mario, but especially Sibylle, who destroyed the family. She was also afraid of being deported to a home in the event of a divorce. Sibylle was killed with Mrs. Sanders walking aid. Mrs. Sander, in turn, betrayed herself when she told Nicole that it was bad enough that Sibylle was killed - a knowledge that only the perpetrator could have at the time. Mrs. Sander makes a long confession.

The audience participation was 45.6 percent.

It was the 121st episode in the film series Polizeiruf 110 . Captain Peter Fuchs investigated in his 73rd case and Lieutenant Lutz Zimmermann in his 16th case. “… Through the actors' guidance and above all through the choice of motifs […] and the lighting, the banal story takes on ballad-like features,” so the criticism. This is accompanied by the "melancholy song" When I left . The ballad, written by Gisela Steineckert to a melody by singer Dirk Michaelis , is used as the title song of the film. You can also hear the songs Am Fenster , z. B. Susann and Casablanca of the City Group ; the group Carousel wrote most of the other film music.
