action

Sylvia Kleinert, the secretary of the city treasurer, was shot dead during an attack on the city treasury of Weimar . Detective Inspectors Lessing and Kira Dorn investigate this case and quickly realize that it was a targeted murder.

The suspects include the petty criminal Congo, who had left the scene at high speed, and the city treasurer Iwan Windisch, who had an affair with the dead woman. But his jealous wife is also suspect. To hear about the Congo, Lessing and Dorn go to the annual market in Rudolstadt . Here they meet Congo's boss Rita Eisenheim, a showwoman who pretends to have missed her husband Josef Eisenheim for a few days. His corpse, which bears a striking resemblance to Iwan Windisch, is soon found in a coffin in the ghost train run by Rita.

It turns out that Ivan and Josef were identical twins who grew up separately and only met as adults. With Rita's knowledge, they decided to switch roles. When Ivan wanted to exchange the goods, he was poisoned by Rita, while Josef (as city treasurer Ivan) was caught by his secretary in financial irregularities and blackmailed by her. Since Josef was in danger of being blown out, he faked the attack that was ultimately carried out by Rita. Josef and Rita are arrested by Dorn and Lessing at the fair.

Reviews

While TV Spielfilm, for example, praised the film in advance for its “puns” and “weird characters”, the film's poor tone was criticized after the broadcast, for which the main actor Ulmen apologized the next day.

The Münchner Abendzeitung criticized the “absurd story of the Weimar crime scene”, which “caused confusion” and, in addition to the poor sound, made the film “at times a strenuous New Year's meal”.

The Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung found the film "between ghost trains and swingers club" to be "just silly". He will "deeply divide" the Tatort fan community and ask "how much [...] the" Tatort "actually wants to slim down on the audience", "that Nora Tschirner finds screaming comedies in Til Schweiger ". It is forgiving that “ Sven Regener and his band Element of Crime give the cinematic flat pass a high-quality finale, at least musically.”

Der Spiegel stated that “the lustfully twisted plot of swapping women and sneaking out on sleeping […] at no point reminds of a derailed bachelorette party” and suggested: “Maybe you think about a higher frequency, that's how funny German television is otherwise not. "

For the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , "this splendid grotesque, appropriate to the hungover New Year's Eve [...] lives from oblique, subversive looks, crazy twists and turns, and from excellent comic situations developed from the characters."

"The Weimar crime scene turns out to be somewhere between Helge Schneider's 00 Schneider - Hunt for Nihil Baxter and a theatrically exaggerated film project of a drama school," said Die Welt . It feels like being transported back to the year 2004 when Ulmen and Tschirner could be seen together on MTV on behalf of Ulmen ; In any case, one perceives the two actors "at no point in time [...] as an investigator". The best thing about the film is the end: “Sven Regener plays the trumpet. Like a drunk angel who can no longer find the way to heaven. Regener is on stage with his band Element of Crime [...] and this melody makes up for the madness that you could endure for an hour and a half. "

Awards

On April 6, 2016, Nora Tschirner was awarded the Jupiter for best TV actress for her performance in the episode Der Irre Iwan .
