action
When Johann Knauf and Maria from the Philippines get married in the village church in Lastrum, no one is present except for the pastor, the organist and a friend of Maria. A few weeks later, Chief Detective Charlotte Lindholm from the Lower Saxony State Criminal Police Office arrives in the small village near Vechta to begin the investigation into the murder of Johann Knauf. There was poison in Knauf's favorite cookies “Lastrumer Mixture”. The commissioner is faced with a conspiratorial village community that has already passed judgment. For them Maria is the culprit. In the conversation with Lindholm, the young Filipina is rather closed. First of all, the Breitenfeld couple's bakery is closed, which particularly arouses Heike Breitenfeld's displeasure. Little by little, the inspector, who stayed in the village inn, got to know the local residents. The same goes for the postwoman Roswitha Porith, with whom Charlotte gets along well immediately. Roswitha says that she was a second cousin of Johann and that she couldn't imagine someone from the village doing anything to him. She is one of the few who doesn't speak badly about Maria either. The commissioner learns that there was a dispute between the building contractor Günter Pries and Knauf over a collapsed wall that had been pulled up in black, which prevented claims from being asserted. Since then, the two men have been spider enemies.
Back in Hanover, Charlotte persuades her roommate, the crime writer Martin Felser, to help her with a check-up at a marriage initiation institute. Together they trick the employee so that Charlotte can get information from her computer. This shows that Knauf ordered a catalog from the institute. However, there is no further data about him. It is interesting, however, that Maria was married once, to a farmer named Oldmanns near Oldenburg . Lindholm bursts into the middle of the foreclosure auction of his property. When she asks Oldmanns about Maria, he doesn't let her hair down. He was married to her for about half a year, during which time she made him poor, and then she left him. When Commissioner Maria later asked about it, her version was different. She said nothing about this marriage because she wanted to forget it very quickly. Oldmanns had beaten and humiliated her, he was especially bad when he was drinking, and that was usually the case. She also had to do the work on the farm alone. At some point she couldn't take it anymore and left. When Lindholm asks how she got an extension of her residence permit, since she would have had to be married for three years to be able to stay in Germany, she evades. When asked about her passport, she replied that she had lost it.
In the village inn, the men divide the Knauf property among themselves based on a plan. Lindholm promises them on the head that it is particularly about a piece of Knaufs property, which is located directly on the main road and which is needed for the planned construction of a home improvement store. The building contractor Pries in particular has already invested too much capital to be able to retreat. All of a sudden Maria has disappeared without a trace, while Martin appears at the inn and is immediately introduced to Roswitha by Charlotte.
Lindholm has Pries' company searched and says that he has a crystal clear motive to get Knauf out of the way because he did not want to sell the property on the main road to him, but to Dutch people who are also interested. Even a higher offer could not change his mind. It turns out that Pries and Mayor Peter Rönnau stayed at Club Eden, to which Maria had fled to her friend Helga Fehring. Her plan was to couple Maria with Knauf, who would then influence him to sell the property in question to her. In return, Maria should receive a valid residence permit. However, their plan did not work to the extent that Maria and Knauf actually fell in love and the young woman no longer needed a residence permit due to the marriage with him. In this regard, the men admit the facts, but vehemently deny that they had anything to do with Knauf's death. Rönnau now also tells the inspector that they had put Maria in hiding in order to force her to sign the property in question. The hiding place is empty, however. On the way back, Charlotte suddenly throws the wheel around because she has suspicions. She drives to Roswitha's apartment and witnesses how the postman tries to get Maria to eat the soup she has poisoned. Charlotte overpowers Roswitha, who tells her sobbing that she and Johann have always been a couple, but nobody should have known that here in the country because they are related. She would have wanted marriage, but he didn't. Then Maria showed up, she broke everything. You hate her so much. And Johann, he just pushed her away, and then he even told her that he no longer loved her. After this day that bothered her, Charlotte is glad that Martin is there to take care of her.

criticism
For Maria Furtwängler's debut as investigator, TV Spielfilm gave Charlotte Lindholm one of three points for humor and claim, two for tension and two thumbs up. Conclusion: "Clarified with naturalness and a sense of irony."
Rainer Tittelbach was impressed by the new commissioner, whom he perceived as “a smart” but “rather cool person”, which was reflected in his assessment: “There has rarely been a new figure in the row that is so 'natural' and without excessive ambitions was sent into the quota battle. Commissioner Lindholm is a modern woman who doesn't necessarily feel like she has to embody the concept of 'modern woman'. […] Lindholm is a commissioner to be reckoned with. How she gives the men steam - that seemed less artificial than with other of her TV colleagues. ”The critic found the resolution of the case not so convincing, since the solution was“ implausible ”.
Awards
At the Locarno Film Festival , the composer Stephan Massimo Jauch, known as Stephan Massimo, was awarded the Swiss Film Music Prize of the SUISA Foundation for his music for Lastrumer Mixture , which is endowed with a prize money of CHF 10,000.
