Cry of the geese is a detective radio play of the series of radio crime scene . The original text comes from John von Düffel , who for the first time wrote the script for Radio Bremen around the Bremen investigator duo Chief Inspector Claudia Evernich and Claas Berding, as well as the accompanying public prosecutor Dr. Kurt Gröninger delivered. Scream of the Geese first aired on May 16, 2008 . In addition to the main actors, Gerd Baltus appeared as another well-known speaker.
The present 5th case of the entire series and the first case of the Bremen crime scene connects with the arrival of public prosecutor Dr. Kurt Gröninger from Bremerhaven in Bremen, the introduction of the other main characters the concentration on a series of abuse cases based on the real case of the serial perpetrator Martin Ney , who was only cleared up three years later.
content
The young prosecutor Dr. Kurt Gröninger is transferred from Bremerhaven to Bremen . While he was in his previous range for OK ( Organized crime ) and economic crime was responsible, he should in the old Hanseatic city of law enforcement felony mitgarantieren. The principled pedant , die-hard cyclist and apparently humorless lawyer meets a team of investigators who work for him in Bremen and who are in no way to his taste.
The chief inspector Claudia Evernich is extremely experienced and around 15 years older than Gröninger, but with her boyish manner and her lax manner of dealing with him and her younger assistant Claas Berding seems like a constant provocation for him. Despite his repeated offer to work together, she does not seem to be able to work in a team.
The current case, in which the three will work together for the first time, is child abuse in the vicinity of Bremen. The course of events and the location remind Evernich of a series of similar incidents in the late 1990s when she was working for a special commission. In the vicinity of tent camps , school camps and boarding schools , far more than 40 abuse crimes against boys between the ages of nine and thirteen had to be investigated. Three boys were even abducted and strangled. In none of the cases did the police succeed in solving the problem. A striking detail of the murders was the time gap of exactly three years. And this time, too, it has been three years since the last murder.
At first, the local police do not seem to take seriously the report from a home manager about the disappearance of the goose Klärchen . The chief inspector sees the case in a more nuanced way, since it was a watch goose . These had been bought there after a boy from the country school home was murdered three years ago after his enigmatic kidnapping . One night when nine-year-old Alexander receives a visit from a stranger and disappears a little later, events roll over and Evernich takes over the investigation almost single-handedly, despite the involvement of a profiler . But the case will have an open ending.
background
The thematic basis of the present radio crime scene was formed by the cases of a serial offender, the so-called black man or masked man , which had not yet been clarified at the time . In their comments, many listeners expressed their amazement at the abrupt end of the case without resolution. The station's editorial team therefore replied: “ The geese's cry is a self-contained piece after a real, as yet unsolved case. The author John von Düffel as well as the Bremen editorial team made a conscious decision in favor of this open ending and based themselves on the current state of investigation by the police. This reality content was a central point for John von Düffel - in spite of all other fictionality. "
Ingeborg Kallweit as pathologist Dr. As in the following case, The Invisible Woman , Elisabeth Michel is not yet a member of the investigative team; it will only appear in the later episodes like Who Turns Around Or Laughs ... or A Clear Case .
review
- “The disappearance of a goose attracts Claudia Evernich's attention, who suspects that there is more to it. This prelude sounds a bit implausible and makes for a slightly bumpy start to the main story. This then turns into a neat and exciting criminal case in a very appealing way. The ending, on the other hand, is unusual - I don't want to reveal too much, but I'm very curious about the opinions of the listeners. The straightforward cast list is well put together. All speakers act on a good level and are credible in their roles across the board. Marion Breckwoldt in particular fulfills her strong role really well. Markus Meyer has a bit of a disadvantage here because his figure does not (yet) have a comparably memorable color. The implementation by Christiane Ohaus was quite successful. The scenes in particular, which are really exciting, are very well lined with atmosphere. But I also really liked the idea of integrating the children's choir with songs that were always thematically appropriate. Another decent entry in the radio scene list - but the story has a few corners that might not meet with goodwill from every listener. But you should definitely test this fifth radio station! "
- “In the media in which the references to radio broadcasts, if any, could only be found with a magnifying glass, radio is being heard again. And the reviews - no matter how they turn out - they are even detailed! "
- “It's not that the radio play really separates itself from the crime scene images on television. The imagination hardly produces anything other than what is shaped by television. The narrative and the scenic representation are too similar, the radio could do better than that. But the handling of the resolution of the case is more open. What a radio play can create in terms of images works better if you don't look at television. But it's enough to relax. "
