action
The women's soccer team from FC Eppheim is training, while the attractive Fadime Gülüc has a photo shoot. The photographer wants her to pose in sexy lingerie too. She initially refuses, but then agrees. After taking a shower, she is found dead. A metal bar is suspected to be a weapon, but none can be found.
Odenthal and Kopper investigate their surroundings, but find no real clue for a motif. Since Fadime was a Muslim, there may have been problems with her family. Odenthal speaks to her father. He is furious that a woman questions him and asks for his alibi for the time of the crime, but is also proud of his daughter and her football talent. After all, she even played in the national team. But he says that since she got money for playing football, she's also taken away from it.
Kopper wants to look around Fadime's apartment when he meets Tobias Friday, her fiancé. He's had a fresh shower and all of his things are in the washing machine right now. Kopper decided to switch off the machine and give the things for examination. He takes him to the interrogation. Tobias admits that he had an argument with Fadime because she canceled their wedding. He was very angry about it, but said he hadn't murdered her. The evaluation of his phone calls also confirms that he was not near the sports club at the time of the crime.
Odenthal asks the trainer Petra Krömer about the argument she had with Fadime and she says that Fadime has just been too unfocused lately and so she couldn't let her play. She was playing too much of a star lately and that disrupted communication with each other. Also, Fadime had an offer from America and she would have left after that season. So the trainer had no reason to want to get rid of her beforehand. Then she asked the players and they weren't the best of friends either. Kopper finds out that Sonja Tossik was the last to be in the changing rooms. He questions her and learns that Fadime was her rival, but that would not be a reason to kill her.
Kopper talks to the groundskeeper Rennert and he says that Fadime's friend was absolutely not the right one for her. The manager Meingast only used it as a figurehead. He saw it late in the locker room too. So he is questioned and admits that he was not thrilled that Fadime wanted to leave, but that’s not why he killed her right away. Shortly thereafter, Rennert is fired by Meingast for no reason, even though he was something like the club's mascot. The club was his family and so he is accordingly stunned.
Kopper confronts Fadime's parents with the photos that were taken during the shoot. They did not agree with their decisions. They didn't like going to America either. Tobias even said that such photos were a mortal sin in the eyes of her mother. So it turns out that Fadime's mother, who knew about the photo shoot, went to the club to keep her away. She admits she wants to talk to her, but a man in a tracksuit has not let her see her. Since the pathologist found residues of phosphorus and calcium on the corpse, this leads to the groundskeeper, who comes into contact with fertilizer and lime for the lines.
So the investigators go to Rennert, who is just freaking out and wants to hit Meingast with a torque wrench in order to get revenge for the termination. In this argument, Rennert admits that he recently wanted to repair the heating. Fadime was just taking a shower, but he didn't want her to leave the club. After all, she was the soul of the club and he just couldn't allow this betrayal. But before he can kill Meingast with the heavy torque wrench, Kopper shoots him in the leg.
background
The film was produced on the occasion of the 2011 Women's World Cup . High-ranking representatives of the DFB played in small roles, including the then DFB President Theo Zwanziger , men's national coach Joachim Löw , the World Cup organizer Steffi Jones and national player Célia Okoyino da Mbabi . Theo Zwanziger himself had suggested a crime scene for the Women's World Cup. After murder in the first division , this is the second crime scene in 2011, which plays in the football milieu at Zwanziger's suggestion.
The setting in Eppheim is fictional. The shooting in the football stadium took place in November 2010 in the Wörtel stadium in Kuppenheim near Baden-Baden .
reception
criticism
Most of the criticisms criticized the subordination of the action to the intention of combating prejudice against women's football. According to the taz “Do you have to put the investigating commissioners into a classic development novel at the end of which all disdain for women's football disappears? The ARD and the DFB are obviously of the opinion: Yes, you have to " and Die Zeit " but at the latest when declarations and messages, such as the one with the long-banned women's football, or the thing with the rotten professional football at the grandstand chat, are sold again and assistant Mario Kopper gives the skeptical macho, who thinks that women's football is "like the district league for men", it will be a little too much for a good thing. ” And stern.de sums up “ This is how women's football is in this women's football thriller true to his title role - he remains "on the sidelines". "
Die Zeit further criticizes: "In the context of the discussion of how much physical attractiveness and media portrayal of femininity of the soccer players play an overly large role in the run-up to the women's soccer World Cup, this crime scene could also have been on the underwear photo shoot [...] directly on the field ( !) can do without."
The Süddeutsche Zeitung particularly criticizes the guest appearances of individual DFB officials and footballers: “This greeting from the DFB's Theater AG is one of the most embarrassing in the history of the series. Without the amateurs, the episode would only be sweaty and normally very bad - but it turns out to be a downright brain-burned event. It's crazy, this self-surrender to the antics, all of that by filmmakers who can't get a good dialogue off in 90 minutes. A strong total surrender. " .
