A day like any other is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk is the 1085th episode of the crime scene and was first broadcast on February 24, 2019 on ARD's first program. The Franconian investigator duo Voss and Ringelhahn ( Fabian Hinrichs , Dagmar Manzel ) are investigating their fifth case.

action

The Bayreuth lawyer Peters shoots the judge at exactly the hour in an ongoing court case and runs away. Exactly an hour later, he kills a university employee and escapes again. The investigators Felix Voss and Paula Ringelhahn fear a third murder at the next full hour. The team becomes aware of Peters' whereabouts through a taxi driver whose armed passenger cannot pay the fare to the Festspielhaus . The shooter is now threatening the milk manufacturer Rolf Koch, who is sitting in a box, during a performance of Wagner's Walküre . When Peters does not drop the gun, he is shot by Commissioner Ringelhahn. In the auditorium, the police arrested the physically disabled Martin Kessler, who remained provocatively there after the opera house had been vacated. Kessler kidnapped Mira Peters, Peters’s 14-year-old daughter, and threatened her with her death if he did not commit the deeds he was required to do. Mira has been trapped for 32 hours and is in danger of dying of thirst if the girl is not found soon. Kessler offers the police to tell Mira's whereabouts if he has a 15-minute conversation with Koch beforehand. Voss and Ringelhahn get Koch to agree to the plan and arrange for a discussion under the highest security precautions. Nevertheless, at the end of the conversation, Koch dies of poisoning that Kessler's wife had previously secretly inflicted on him, and which unfolds its full fatal effect when Kessler causes Koch to get upset.

The Kesslers got their revenge on the unscrupulous entrepreneur who had grossly negligently brought poisoned milk into the trade, as a result of which their unborn child died and their lives got out of hand. The two murder victims and Peters had also been involved in the scandal, as they had prevented Koch from being held legally responsible. Kessler keeps his promise and reveals Mira's hiding place so that she can be saved in time. The Kesslers meanwhile undertake a joint attempt at poisonous suicide, but the police prevent them from doing so.

Reviews

Christian Buss from Spiegel Online commented: “The great thing about the thrillers by Yesilkaya and Marka is that they set an unstoppable mechanism of horror in motion in the television thriller, which is often perceived as overcast - but unfortunately it only works in their Bayreuth episode conditionally. […] In the end, however, it succeeds in explaining how the avenger was able to manipulate half of Bayreuth for his monstrous plan with a sleek network of chamber play-like flashbacks and an advancing hunt for perpetrators. "

At the Süddeutsche Zeitung , Holger Gertz wrote : “Even more daring turns of phrase are plausible, opposing images are confidently assembled together. Here someone dies of thirst, there - cut - someone dumps water into the tank of the coffee machine. A crime scene that is worth seeing in terms of content and craftsmanship, the speed of which is a little undoing for him in the B-grade. "

Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv also rated Tatort - a day like any other positive: “A thriller in the guise of a thriller, behind which a drama is hidden that ultimately soars into a great tragedy. [...] The story is complex, but the film is not complicated. The crime story, the crime and the investigation is interrupted by situations from the past; they result in their own private story, in which the detective story is already hidden. "
