action

The Viennese chief inspector Moritz Eisner spends a few days' vacation with Roxane Aschenwald in Tyrol . He had met the young policewoman on vacation. When she is called to a murder case, he accompanies her to the small village where the pastor's housekeeper Widauer was tied up and found dead with a broken neck. At first it looks like robbery because there is a lack of money. Aschenwald questions the young pastor Santner and the altar boy, but nobody noticed anything. Only Hans and Peter, two youngsters from the young crowd, were at Santner's for dinner. As the housekeeper was tied up with what is known as a figure eight knot , Aschenwald asks the two boys about the fact that they used such a knot in their field games. They state that they left at 10 p.m. on the evening of the crime and saw Margit Karner, who is known in the village as "Pfaffengeil" and has been following the pastor for a long time. Aschenwald talks to Karner, who admits that she finds the pastor very attractive and, since her husband is on business all week, would like to have something with him. She frankly says that the other day she almost had him on the mountain, but then suddenly his colleague and friend Erich Gasser came and disturbed her. Since Eisner observes well, he also finds out and speaks to Margit Karner about her relationship with Santner. Just as he questions her, her jealous husband appears and gets violent.

The autopsy Widauer has now shown that, although the first blow was fatal, there is a second breakthrough was achieved. The bondage was also carried out post-mortem . So Eisner speaks to the pastor and puts forward the theory that a jealous husband may have wanted to see whether his wife was in bed with him that evening. In a scuffle, in which the vigilant housekeeper was also present, she then fell so unhappily that she died. But since he was a good Christian, he could not come to terms with murder and disguised it as an attack by a stranger. Santner thinks this theory is absolutely nonsensical. But Eisner cuts a piece of cloth out of Santner's mattress to show evidence of the nightly visit. These lead to Barbara Mühlbacher, who, when asked, confesses to having had a relationship with Santner for a long time. When her father realizes and believes that his daughter has something to do with the murder, he unceremoniously takes the blame on himself. Barbara knows, however, that it was not her father and tries to talk to the fanatical Pastor Gasser, it was he who suddenly appeared in the night and killed Mrs. Widauer and forced Santner and she herself to cover all traces. He smugly justified his act by saying that Widauer deserved it because she looked the other way. Eisner, who followed Mühlbacher and is listening at the open window, overhears the involuntary confession.

In the meantime Santner has climbed up the mountain and wants to throw himself to death, as he writes in a suicide note. Eisner, Barbara and Gasser want to prevent that. Gasser implores Eisner to let him go to Santner, who is standing on the edge, because he can prevent him from taking this step. In reality, however, he wants to persuade him to plunge into the depths, because he owes that to the church. Only when Barbara Santner calls out that she is having a child from him does he reflect. Gasser sees his skins swim away and wants to help Santner fall down into the gorge, but loses his footing in a fight and falls himself. Santner is committed to Barbara.

background

The episode was filmed in 2000 on the Mieminger Plateau near Innsbruck .

In this episode Moritz Eisner visits Roxane Aschenwald privately. There were disagreements between them when Eisner interfered in Aschenwald's investigation and also because he met a former friend in the police station, the forensic doctor Dr. Renate Lang, who is in Innsbruck for a medical congress. Lang remarked to Aschenwald that Eisner was a man whom women should rather not get involved with. Later Eisner and Aschenwald swim naked in a lake.

criticism

TV Spielfilm said that author Felix Mittererlooked at the oh-so-idyllic mountain world with fine mockery . The criticism was summarized in the sentence:

"Homeland thriller with a portion of irony"

- tvspielfilm.de

In moviesection.de be criticized not always comprehensible logic, however, praised the fact that a few insights would be given in the private lives of Eisner. They were absolutely not satisfied with Christiane Neubauer's acting performance.

"Krassnitzer's humorous contributions during this case, which is actually not that of Commissioner Eisner, contribute a lot to the success of this otherwise not always particularly logical 'crime scene'."
