Borowski and the North Festival is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by NDR in 2015 is the 1025th Tatort episode and was broadcast on the first on June 18, 2017 . The Kiel commissioner Klaus Borowski is investigating his 30th case; for his colleague Sarah Brandt it is the 13th and last case.
action
Roman Eggers had disappeared for half a year, and when he suddenly reappears to see his children, his ex-wife forbids him to interact with them. This throws him completely off track. In his lack of restraint, he kills his adoring girlfriend Maren Reese in affect. Commissioner Klaus Borowski and his colleague Sarah Brandt take over the investigation. For Borowski there are a lot of questions, because many things seem illogical. When he wanted to look around the victim's apartment and got in through a window in the courtyard, he suddenly noticed a noise. He wants to look and gets caught in a wall of fire so that he can no longer leave the apartment. Stunned by the smoke, he falls desperately to the ground. He wakes up in the courtyard where someone must have put him down. Borowski is certain that this was the culprit wanted, who wanted to prevent traces of him from being found in his victim's apartment through the fire. He did not expect Borowski to appear, but why he was saved by him is not clear to him.
Eggers is extremely careful not to let anyone know where they are. Since he suspects that his old buddy could betray him, he kills him too - just as unplanned as his girlfriend. The next morning, this young drug dealer is found dead in his apartment. Here, too, Borowski and Brandt are brought in to the investigation and Brandt finds out that Roman Eggers is very likely the wanted perpetrator. Because of the unpredictability of the man, Borowski refuses a public manhunt. The questioning of his ex-wife and the former employer did not reveal any trace of the whereabouts of the wanted person, but it was mentioned that Eggers allegedly stole explosives from his company's warehouse. Even if this was over two years ago, Brandt suspects a direct connection to the current murders. In his opinion, the people got in the way of Eggers. Since the city is just before the opening of the Kiel Week , this is likely to be the planned target of a bomb attack by Eggers. While the investigators are looking for the man at full speed, he is in the process of borrowing a large sum of money from personal loan broker Rolf Felthuus. Again, there is a conflict and both people seriously injure each other. While Felthuus is being cared for in the hospital, Eggers is still on the run. Borowski finds out that the wanted man has a daughter from a previous relationship, and the inspector hopes to find Eggers through this girl. That succeeds and he is found in an apartment, meanwhile almost bleeding to death. While Borowski tries to talk to Eggers in the hospital about his motives, Brandt has Eggers' things examined. When a sniffer dog strikes, it is clear that he has been carrying explosives in his pocket. The search for this explosive leads to a sailing yacht , which Eggers very likely wanted to detonate in the middle of the festivities of the Kiel Week , which in the end he never came back to. Eggers dies of his injuries in hospital.
background
The film was shot from June 15, 2015 to July 14, 2015 in Kiel as well as in Wentorf near Hamburg , Glinde , Großhansdorf and Reinbek . Parts of the film were recorded at Kieler Woche . The film was broadcast two years after the shooting because it was supposed to be on television to coincide with the Kiel Week. Therefore, there is no final scene for Commissioner Sarah Brandt, as Sibel Kekilli's exit was not yet known at the time of shooting. Due to the delayed broadcast (the broadcast was not possible for Kieler Woche 2016), the crime scene does not fit perfectly into the broadcast sequence. Klaus Borowski is particularly bad-tempered and eager to drink, which was planned as an impact of the Borowski crime scene and the return of the silent guest .
script
The novelist Henning Mankell wrote the scripts for two of the previous episodes.
- Borowski and the fourth man (2009) in Kiel, NDR.
- Borowski and the cool dog (2010) in Kiel, NDR.
Henning Mankell, who suffered from cancer in 2014 and died on October 5, 2015, wrote a template for this episode, which was adapted by Markus Busch .

Reviews
“Everything dies, everything passes, only chaos remains. What could go wrong went wrong in this crime thriller. The result is still wonderful; The 'Tatort' has never stumbled into the great summer slump so consistently and artistically. "
“The usual crime scene often does not dare to do anything, it is tricky and not strenuous. Nothing is softened in this episode. The blows that Roman Eggers gave the woman were hard to bear. But if you want to tell what violence means, you have to show violence. A harrowing film. Sometimes you want to look away, sometimes you have to swallow. When does that happen, at the crime scene? "
Thomas Gehringer from tittelbach.tv said: “Misel Maticevic gives an absolutely award-worthy performance, in his enormous physical presence as well as in his precise playing.” “Director Jan Bonny staged rough, erratic, incredibly intense. And includes the dreary social reality of Kiel as well as the intoxicating state of emergency during the Kiel Week. "
