action
Daniel Tuskiewitsch, a Polish construction worker, is about to marry Anne Beck, Katja's mother. In order to invite his future stepdaughter, who is critical of the wedding, to the celebration, he meets with her in the family's boathouse.
When the daughter does not appear at the party the next day, Ehrlicher and Kain start their search at the boathouse. A fisherman heard screams there and called the police. There are also traces of a crime on a boat.
Since Chief Inspector Ehrlicher and his assistant Kain are currently investigating a number of sex crimes, the new supervisor of the agency Veigl, a Bavarian who was put in front of Ehrlicher, believes there is a connection with the other sexual crimes; Honest and Cain are suspicious as the circumstances of the crime do not match the other cases.
Ehrlicher also has family problems: his son Tommi is tearing down the old porch on the house and wants to open a bar. More honest is attached to the old extension, which he painstakingly built in the GDR era, doesn't want a pub in the house and disapproves of the fact that Tommi also uses illegal work to build it up.
The sex offender can be found quickly and it turns out that he actually has nothing to do with Katja Beck's disappearance. Ehrlicher then investigates further and learns that Tuskiewitsch had a brief affair with Katja. He then arrests him temporarily and confronts his wife Anne with the incident.
Anne then meets with Uli, a racist who also works on the construction site and is Katja's friend. He claims to her that Daniel raped Katja. Arriving at home, she meets Daniel, who has meanwhile been released, and who is about to leave their apartment. Anne Beck confronts Veigl with the rape allegation and questions Ehrlicher's integrity. But she is calmed down by this; Be more honest, trustworthy and experienced.
When Daniel wants to start his work on the construction site again the next day, he is stared at by everyone and finally screams his frustration from his soul before he flees to the boathouse, which was smeared with the words “Polish pig”. Katja's father lies in wait for him there, threatens him and confronts him. Since Daniel can't tell him anything, he finally beats him up.
Meanwhile, Katja Beck reappears. She then looks more honestly at her mother's, but only learns from Katja's biological father that “the Pole” is dead and Katja has gone to the boathouse. Once there, they actually find the hanged Daniel Tuskiewitsch. Katja lies dead in a boat that an angler has now dragged ashore with his boat. Katja's mother can pick up Ehrlicher at the Albertbrücke and bring her to the boathouse, where she admits to having killed her daughter in the affect when she confessed to everything. Uli states that Katja lived with him the whole time and pretended to be dead to prevent the wedding.
production
The film was still being produced by German television and was shown by MDR as the first contribution to the crime scene series . It is the first film with the investigator duo Ehrlicher and Kain , which was to be followed by 44 more. The idea of shooting an "Ostkrimi" came up while shooting the film Trutz , in which, in addition to Hans-Werner Honert, Peter Sodann and Bernd Michael Lade, Christian Steyer and Jürgen Heimlich were also involved. In the course of the dissolution of the DFF and the establishment of the MDR, the production could be realized.
The shooting took place in Dresden and the surrounding area, including near the Blue Wonder .
Ursula Rummler created the costumes, Gerda Schilde was responsible for the cloakroom.
The first broadcast was followed by 12.19 million viewers, which corresponded to a market share of 35.70%.
In addition to Peter Sodann and Bernd Michael Lade , Walter Nickel can be seen as a forensic technician in this film . He will play this role regularly from the film On the War Path . Already at this point there are small squabbles between him and Cain. Gustl Bayrhammer also appears as head of the department in Death from the Past . Between 1972 and 1981 he could already be seen as Chief Inspector Veigl in 15 films on Bavarian Radio . The Ehrlichers family, played by Monika Pietsch and Thomas Rudnick, also appears in other films. Cain still has the rank of sub-commissioner here , which only existed in the German People's Police .
criticism
