action

Chief Inspector Olga Lenski and Chief Police Officer Horst Krause are called to a remote location in Brandenburg . At the alleged crime scene, however, there is only one dead animal, not a human corpse as reported by the police over the radio. Nevertheless, they are very happy to have arrived at the right time, because the landowner Elisabeth von Taupitz is currently threatening the animal rights activist Stefan Waldner with a rifle. He had simply put a shot wolf in front of her door, because he thinks she was the person who commissioned this act. Since " wolf murder " is a criminal offense, he had alerted the police. Commissioner Lensky explains to the angry young man that she is only responsible for the murder of people. But then a real murder crime develops faster than expected. While they are discussing the case in the village, Waldner's trailer is shot nearby. His girlfriend Jule Sobowski was waiting inside, who is easily injured by splinters. Jules father is outraged, after all he is a member of the hunting board of the village and is not very enthusiastic about the settlement of the new wolf pack. As a result, he dislikes that his daughter, of all people, is getting involved with this conservationist, whom he considers to be a parasite that only lets the state pay for its dropout.

For Waldner, working with wolves is a life's work and he is determined to protect his animals from humans. When the vet Hagen Stamm was found dead the next day, Waldner was suspected of murder. After the forensic investigation, the wolf was shot from the vet's rifle and the attack on Waldner's trailer. Jule explains that she was with Waldner all night, but that doesn't convince the inspector. She notices more and more how important these animals are to Waldner, to whom he has fled because he is disappointed with the people. To protect her, he would probably kill too.

Jules father also thinks Waldner is the murderer of Hagen Stamm, because he knows that his daughter did not spend the night with the animal rights activist, but was at home. When Sobowski meets Waldner in the forest, he knocks him down with a club and steals the GPS device with which he can find the wolf pack. He hopes that Waldner will disappear with the wolves if he helps out a little, because he had gone to school with him here and still had an old account with Waldner open. After Waldner follows him and Sobowski begins to shoot the wolves, the animal rights activist pounces on him. Fortunately, Commissioner Lenski followed the two and is able to prevent Waldner from killing another person because of the wolves.

criticism

The critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm gave the best possible rating (thumbs up) and wrote: “The crime thriller, which is beautifully embedded in the landscape, scores with pictures by animal filmmaker Sebastian Koerner - and with a family drama from GDR times. The latter, however, has long since ceased to be original. ”Their overall conclusion was:“ Half Ossi Western, half Stasi drama ”.
