Henriette again is a German-Austrian crime comedy with Christiane Hörbiger in the leading role from 2013.
action
Henriette Frey is a renowned art restorer and widow of a former high commissioner of the Vienna homicide commission, whom she supported in his cases. After a long long-distance relationship, she moved to Krems to live with her boyfriend, the musician Ferdinand Sternheim . Although she is actually retired, she will soon set up a studio there and start looking for new tasks.
At an exhibition by the young painter Hubertus Krajcik, Henriette met his gallery owner Hartmut Ille, who made an appointment with her the next day. During the exhibition there is a scandal when Krajcik and his former lover Lena Setzlaff argue loudly because Krajcik has a new relationship. Henriette offers Lena to spend the night with her, which she initially refuses.
The next day Henriette comes to the gallery and finds the body of Krajcik, who first suffered a non-fatal head wound and then fell over the railing on the first floor. Henriette calls the police and looks around Krajcik's studio. There she finds Lena's jacket and nude sketches from a strange woman. She also notices that the projector is missing a laptop, which was apparently used to throw photos on the wall.
When chief inspector Siegfried Anzengruber arrives at the scene of the crime, it turns out that he and Henriette already know each other: He is the lover of her neighbor Caroline Deckstein, who works as a forensic pathologist. There are always disputes between Anzengruber and Henriette because she interferes in the investigation, gains unauthorized access to the crime scene and supports his main suspect, Lena Setzlaff. Henriette is convinced of Lena's innocence, although she fled from the police and stole from her on a later visit. As an alibi, Lena gives a homeless person whom she stumbled upon after a late night visit to the gallery after Krajcik threw her out.
Henriette meets the gallery owner Ille again, who gives her and the young restorer Jonas Kugler an urgent restoration order from the art collector Karl Zickler. Jonas turns out to be a former applicant for one of Henriette's courses, which she rejected because she sees his talent in painting rather than restoration. Therefore initially bitter, he soon becomes Henriette's involuntary investigative assistant. When the two visit Zickler, Henriette recognizes Zickler's wife as Krajcik's unknown nude model. Henriette and Jonas later return to the house under a pretext, where they find photos that Krajcik took of Zickler's wife. Confronted with this, Yvonne Zickler confesses the affair, which she ended for the sake of her husband. She gives the same alibi as Lena, from which Henriette concludes that Lena lied to her. Lena admits that she put Krajcik down in an argument the night he was murdered and that she only copied the alibi from Yvonne Zickler, who had previously left the gallery.
Henriette thinks she will find decisive evidence in the gallery. When she and Jonas arrive there, however, the building is on fire. All pictures are destroyed. Ille comes running out of the gallery and accuses Zickler of murder out of jealousy and arson in order to turn him off as a possible witness. Zickler, who is still in the burning building, is saved by Jonas, but dies of a heart attack. Henriette is not convinced of Ille's version and plans to lure him into a trap. Together with Lena, she goes to the police station to let Inspector Anzengruber know about her plan. However, he has Henriette sent away.
When the two women meet Ille before giving his testimony, they tell him about a picture of Krajcik supposedly still preserved and hidden in the studio. Henriette has Jonas paint a nude of Lena, which the two shortly afterwards present to Ille in the destroyed gallery. Ille gets angry, breaks the picture and admits that he killed Krajcik. This was just an attractive young actor while the works were by Ille himself. In this way Ille hoped for the long-sought in vain breakthrough as a painter. Since Krajcik began to blackmail him with the fraud, Ille killed him when he found him dejected by Lena in the gallery. Zickler, looking for photos of his wife in the gallery, came across Ille as a scapegoat for the murder. So he set the gallery on fire, which should also destroy any evidence of the fraud. Ille threatens Henriette and Jonas with a gun and wants to get rid of them. This is prevented just in time by Anzengruber, whom Lena had meanwhile informed about Henriette's plan.
