action

After a successful mission, LKA target investigator Nora Weiss and Jan Geissler are visited by the Bavarian state parliament member Monika Landau, who is currently on vacation with her family in Heiligenhafen . Her husband Patrick has not returned from his evening sailing excursion. A little later the worst comes true: Patrick Landau is found dead on the shore while his sailing yacht drifts aimlessly on the sea. It quickly becomes clear that it was not a suicide, as was initially suspected. Weiss and her colleague Simon Brandt investigate the case and find out that the deceased had assumed a false identity for years, something that not even his wife knew. The investigation of his last destinations brings the investigators to Güstrow , where Landau had met a Maik Wosniak.

When they want to question the man, he escapes by fleeing. Research into Wosniak reveals that he had spent five years in prison in the GDR for attempting to flee the republic and was previously friends with a Sibylle Böwe who now lives in Lübeck. In the hope that Wosniak is hiding here, Weiss and Brandt seek out the woman. From her they learn that Patrick Landau was one of their group of friends, who was still called Hanisch at the time and, unlike Wosniak, was able to successfully flee to the West, where he had changed his name for security reasons. According to Sibylle Böwe's statement, Wosniak was convinced that his friend Patrick had betrayed him. For Weiss this results in a massive motive for the crime. However, it will be withdrawn from the case because colleagues from Bavaria are supposed to continue the investigation. Nevertheless, with the help of her colleague Brandt, she remains secretly active and finds out that it was not Patrick Landau who betrayed the escape plans, but an "IM Andreas" .

Weiss consults with her father, as he used to work as an escape helper and knew what was going on around Wosniak and his friend Patrick at the time. She fears that her own father could be this "IM Andreas" and asks him specifically about it, but does not get a satisfactory answer. So Weiss takes another look at Sibylle Böwe and finds the trail to the local politician Jonas Naumann. Patrick Landau had met him recently at a reception and recognized him immediately. Because Naumann was also one of his circle of friends in the GDR and had heard of the escape plans and only he could be the traitor "IM Andreas". Landau had also spoken to Wosniak about this, so that Weiss fears that he could now take revenge on Naumann for the betrayal at the time. Despite police surveillance, Wosniak Naumann was brought under his control. He gets Naumann to make a confession and secretly calls Nora Weiss so that she can overhear the conversation. Naumann also confesses to the murder of Patrick Landau, which he threw overboard in the dispute because he wanted to force him to make his Stasi past public. When Naumann sees himself convicted, he wants to shoot himself, but Brandt prevents him and is arrested.

criticism

Tilmann P. Gangloff criticized for the Frankfurter Rundschau and wrote: “The third film with Anna Maria Mühe as the investigator no longer reaches the intensity of the opening, but tells a captivating story that goes back to the GDR.” “Counterpart to the great feelings of the film, which also tells a love story in the background that only reveals itself in the last sentence, are the rare unexpectedly funny moments. "

Harald Keller rated the film for tittelbach.tv and said: “Hardly any investigative figure on German television gets as little text from the scriptwriter as the North German LKA officer Nora Weiss. She goes her way taciturnly & purposefully. ”Despite the interesting story, Solo is for Weiss - It's not over “ Unfortunately, too much trimmed on tourism advertising to be completely convincing. ”

Ulrich Feld wrote in the Frankfurter Neue Presse : “In some police details, the criminal story is not particularly credible, but at least in phases it is told with a certain dynamic. Whereby there is also something to see in the landscape and in the urban landscape. The machinations of the Stasi, potentially an exciting element of action, only come into their own here and there. More could have been gotten out of André M. Hennicke as Maik Wosniak and also Rainer Bock as the Stasi suspect father of Nora Weiss. "

Julian Miller from quotenmeter.de came to the conclusion: "Ropes from the old GDR times and strange death threats shape the new case of Nora Weiss: Plenty of useless filling material prevents it from becoming a good crime thriller." "The priorities are in [unfortunately ] on something completely different: on TV-film-like arbitrariness and narrated minor conflicts that can arouse little specific interest. "
