action
The family man and baker Eberhard Kemmerlang is released from prison after several years in prison. He was serving a prison sentence for the sexual abuse of his two daughters Johanna and Lisbeth. In the years without their father, the girls had worked alone with their mother Sabine in the family's own bakery.
In the evening the Walpurgis Festival takes place in the hometown of the Kemmerlang family . While Johanna is there, Lisbeth, who wants to follow her, takes care of the bakery, where she is locked in the oven by an attacker and burned to death. When her body is found, footprints are also discovered in the flour dust and that the inside door handle has been unscrewed, which is why it is assumed to be murder.
Johanna immediately suspects her father and fears for her own life. But this one has an alibi . He was working in another bakery at the time of the crime, for which there are also witnesses . During the examination of Lisbeth's corpse, it turns out that the girl was still a virgin, so there cannot have been any sexual assault by her father. Johanna finally admits that she and her sister only made up this story in order to free themselves from their abusive father. She is all the more afraid of her father's revenge , because she is sure that he killed her sister and had already planned the murder of her himself.
Shortly afterwards, a plastic bag with the dismantled door handle is found, in which there are also Kemmerlang's clothes and a pair of shoes in his size. The investigating commissioner Klara Blum seems suspicious of this, however, she suspects that the evidence was deliberately laid out to incriminate Kemmerlang and suspects Johanna. An "E" carved in the oven , which it was initially suspected that Lisbeth would have wanted to draw attention to her murderer, turns out to be a trail that was only laid after the murder. Lisbeth had no way of scratching this letter in the oven.
Kemmerlang is temporarily arrested, but he has to be let go again due to his alibi and after a short time he starts to work in his family's bakery. Alone with his daughter Johanna, he reveals that he murdered Lisbeth and will now kill her too. He had laid the tracks especially so that it should look as if Johanna wanted to hang something on him. Because she lied then, you'd think she did it this time too. He locks them in a chamber that is filled with flour in order to suffocate them.
At the same time, Blum and her new colleague, Superintendent Kai Perlmann, found out that Kemmerlang had stolen the car of a work colleague and thus could very well commit Lisbeth's murder during his break. Blum drives ahead to the Kemmerlang bakery and, with the help of his colleague Perlmann, who arrives just in time, can rescue Johanna from the flour chamber and arrest Eberhard Kemmerlang.
background
The film is the fifth part in the series about the Constance team of investigators. Sebastian Bezzel makes his debut in the role of Kai Perlmann in this episode. Bezzel takes over from Ercan Özçelik , who had taken on the role of assistant at Klara Blum's side in three Tatort episodes. For Bezzel, this fulfills his wish to play a long-term role in the crime scene. The sentence should come from him: "The most important thing for me in the new role is the chance to work with a partner like Eva Mattes."
The shooting took place in Constance and Baden-Baden .

criticism
TV Spielfilm gave one of three points for humor and claim and two points for suspense, which led to the overall rating “thumbs up” and said, “The first-class, ambiguous family drama convinces with clever twists.” Conclusion: “A merciless good case from Lake Constance. "
Kino.de came to the conclusion that it was a "convincingly played episode" that managed to "play with the audience's expectations."
Tilmann P. Gangloff judged for Tittelbach.tv that this crime thriller is “Routine made by Bodensee”, “enriched with dramaturgy clichés that are actually unworthy of this series. The new snuggly colleague alone brings color into the game. "
The Berliner Zeitung was of the opinion that “the well-known author Dorothee Schön, who previously submitted the scripts for the Konstanz cases '1000 Tode' and 'Silent Death' , is here skillfully [immersing] in the world of a family that is subject to constant abuse was exposed by the father and after his release again finds himself in an almost hopeless situation. ”The recommendation was:“ Worth seeing ”.
