action
When the village gendarme Simon Polt takes part in an ice harvest of his friend Karl Fürnkranz, the corpse of the casual worker and womanizer Ferdinand Lutzer is discovered in the grape press. Polt takes up the investigation and in the meantime receives a new supervisor with whom he does not get along. He asks Martin Fürnkranz, his friend's son, and learns from him that Lutzer had raped his sister Monika. Polt tracks down Monika in Znojmo , where she lives as the wife of the brothel owner Claus Scheidt. After a false confession by Karl Fürnkranz, Martin Fürnkranz confesses to being responsible for Lutzer's death. Lutzer worked for Scheidt and boasted about the rape of Monika. Martin then beat him up and pushed him into the press basket. But Simon Polt withholds the confession and gives up the police service.
criticism
"A thriller about a comfortable, good-natured country policeman, whose tranquil life is getting off course due to the social changes in Eastern Europe and who doubts the moral state of society."
