The commissioner has to deal with a long-ago crime and is in the difficult position of having to protect a murderer from the vengeance of a village.

action

Hanns von Meuffels receives the assignment to deal with an unsolved murder case. Xaver Edlinger was accused of killing Anton Filser with a beer bottle, but he had to be acquitted on the basis of the evidence. Neither fingerprints nor a motif on the murder weapon could be found at the time.

Meuffels' assistant Burnhauser compiled all the files and requested a DNA test, which now after 12 years has actually shown that Xaver Edlinger's DNA was attached to the murder weapon. Burnhauser gets into a personal conflict because she knows the accused because the events took place in the village from which she comes. Tweakly, her sister Kati has just got engaged to Xaver. Without consulting von Meuffels, Burnhauser brings this bad news to her sister in order to warn and protect her from Xaver. At the same time she arrests Xaver and takes him to Munich. With this arbitrariness, she gets herself into great trouble and receives a warning. She did not consider that no one could be convicted twice for the same act. Unless the killer confesses his act or another person has perjured. In protest she brings the accused back to the village, for which Xaver is still considered a murderer. The residents of the village want justice and threaten vigilante justice. They try to get Xaver Edlinger under their control and to force a confession. Von Meuffels was just able to prevent this, but the villagers did not give up and besieged Edlinger's house. While the inspector tries to protect the man as best she can, his assistant in Munich looks for abnormalities in the files. She finds a reference to Edlinger's sister. She found the dead man at the time and was not summoned as a witness in the trial. After further research, Burnhauser finds out that Edlinger's sister was in a clinic at the time to have a child aborted. When she informs Meuffels of this, he confronts Edlinger's sister with the latest investigation results and it turns out that she had been raped by Anton Filser. She had confided in her brother and he then wanted to confront his friend and killed him in an argument.

Edlinger confesses the deed so that there is finally peace in the village.

criticism

Rainer Tittelbach from Tittelbach.tv writes: “The birds occasionally chirp in beautiful Bavaria, it simmers for 90 minutes in this powerful crime drama in the village foothills of the Alps. There is roaring, crying, punching, "in" this dramaturgically dense, exciting film. "

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm believe that this police call is "less police investigation than processing personal dramas with powerful feelings." You experience "great emotions behind the village facade."

Heike Hupertz from the FAZ evaluates: "Hans Steinbichler filmed the second extraordinary" Police Call "in a row with 'Schuld' for BR, [...] which distinguishes excellent television from good." "The director's handling of silence and Slowdown. From time to time you can see a mountain farmer's idyll, the use of music very reluctantly ”, that's just“ the calm before the storm. As if out of nowhere, aggressiveness breaks out. [...] Whether this is more relaxing for the viewer is an open question. "
