action
Commissioner Stubbe and his colleague Zimmermann are investigating the death of 16-year-old Sandra Blum. According to the investigation, the victim found dead on the outskirts of Hamburg was investigated as a minor and often dated strangers. Your parents don't want to have noticed any of this. Due to the increased demands at school, they would have given their daughter a little more freedom. When they have to grapple with the truth, a world collapses for them. Stubbe doesn't have easy access to Sandra's sister Peggy. She blocks a little and it is not difficult to see that she was a little jealous of Sandra because she was better off with everything. She looked better, had a great figure, was the pride of the family, and everyone liked her.
Stubbe and Zimmermann find a hut in the forest where Sandra has hidden her cloakroom, so that her parents could not see her daughter changing her clothes in the evening to go about her "business". A friend from the band she was a member of tells the inspectors about a photographer Sandra really wanted to meet. Her best friend Lilly also confirms that Sandra would have been eager to get into big show business.
There are now indications that Lilly's father was also one of Sandra's suitors. Vollenweider tries to make the commissioners understand that their relationship was only about music. He is a sound engineer and Sandra hoped to take advantage of it. After his alibi has been checked, he falls away as a suspect. Based on a text message sent by Sandra's cell phone after her death, the police assume that the perpetrator took the cell phone with him and then returned it to the scene.
A new suspect is found in Robert, the apprentice at Sandra's father's junkyard. Sandra had hired him to take care of her sister a little because Peggy had never really had a boyfriend. Robert noticed that Peggy is “really great” and fell in love with her. Sandra and Robert had argued about this. But Stubbe finds a whole new lead that leads him to Sandra's friend Lilly. Although they both liked each other, the envy grew so far that Lilly has driven to the point of slaying her best friend. Lilly feared that Sandra would seduce her father and thereby lose him, just as she had lost her mother to another man.
Subplot
As so often, Stubbe's daughter Christiane has to deal with her superior in the newspaper office. He still doesn't take them seriously and to top it all off, there are also layoffs in the room. She continues to have only a loose relationship with her colleague Helge Kleinert. She does not want to commit herself prematurely, especially since in her eyes it is "superficial and consumer-oriented". When the dismissal actually comes, Helge goes to New York as a photographer and they part ways for the near future.

criticism
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv said: The episode “'The pride of the family' makes you forget the question about the perpetrator. Stubbe's almost jubilee case is unusually strong and cinematically self-contained. "" Stumph's this prudent wisdom of age and this seriousness in the eye look good. "" This Saturday crime thriller is a well-rounded affair. Social problems of the youth and the parents' generation are woven into the plot without too much effort. Some situations just stand still in the end. [...] No truism about God and the world destroys the echoes of the scenic atmosphere. "
For the critics of the television magazine TV Spielfilm , The Pride of the Family was a “bitter mix of crime and family drama” and gave the film the best possible rating (thumbs up).
Jakob Bokelmann wrote for quotenmeter.de : “The script by Simone Kollmorgen and Martina Mouchot knows how to convince in terms of content, and the production was also carried out conscientiously. Over the entire film, however, hangs the heavy premise of creating a particularly good case, a particularly successful character portrayal, a particularly depressing atmosphere, which in the end one could not really do justice and thus either placed too little or too much focus on individual scenes . It's a shame, then individual shots radiate discomfort with their thriller-like calm and shine with simple elegance. "
