Yesterday was not a day is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The report produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk was first broadcast on June 5, 2011 on ARD's first program. For Commissioners Batic and Leitmayr ( Miroslav Nemec and Udo Wachtveitl ) it is their 59th joint case.

action

Max Lasinger has been cared for by his daughter-in-law Karin Lasinger since he was diagnosed with signs of dementia . Karin Lasinger moved into her father-in-law's house with her son Tobias. Before he fell ill, Max Lasinger ran a family-owned glazier that has been closed for three years due to a lack of orders. The old man does not have a good relationship with his son Bernd. At the time, the son also refused to take care of the father. When Karin Lasinger called the detective inspectors Franz Leitmayr and Ivo Batic, they found a dead man lying in a pool of blood in the old workshop building, who turned out to be Bernd Lasinger. The officials are amazed that Karin Lasinger did not mention this when she called and also irritated by Max Lasinger's statement that he did not want to have recognized his own son. The old man admits the act, but is convinced that he has faced a burglar. When a message arrives a day later that Max Lasinger has disappeared, Batic finds him on the toilet of a department store, where he has locked himself and cannot open the door. The superintendent climbs into the cabin, where he finds Lasinger with his pants down. The old man keeps asking for a Dana, whereupon Batic wants to know who this Dana is.

When inspecting Bernd Lasinger's apartment, the inspectors are surprised that she doesn't give the impression at all that someone lives here who has had to turn over every penny, as Karin Lasinger revealed in a conversation with the inspectors. They also notice various photos of girls that they cannot make sense of. Further investigations reveal that, shortly before his death, Lasinger phoned the lawyer Stefan Roggendorf, who acts as a lawyer for Max Lasinger, and a certain Georg Weingärtner. Batic is also puzzled when Karin Lasinger, when asked who the Dana her father-in-law always asks about, replies that it is the name of her dead mother-in-law when he later found the name "Annemarie" on Mrs. Lasingers in the cemetery Gravestone reads.

For more information about the course of dementia, Leitmayr contacts the neurologist Dr. Neuhaus. He explains to him that not even science can determine whether a person with dementia is actually demented or is only simulating. Later the commissioners witness how he asks Max Lasinger what day of the week it was yesterday, and the answer is that there was no day yesterday and that his son died yesterday. When Karin Lasinger was questioned again, she finally came out with the fact that Dana is a woman from Varna in Bulgaria , whom her husband Bernd had given her and who took care of her father-in-law around the clock. A German nurse is far too expensive, she adds, nobody can afford that. When Batic asked where Dana was now, she replied that she drove home because her child was sick. Since one does not believe her, Dana is searched for and she is found in the basement of the shop where Karin Lasinger works. Shortly afterwards, Tobias Lasinger suddenly confesses to the murder of his father. When he was interrogated by Leitmayr, he said he wanted to see his father grabbing Dana . He intervened and it happened. At the same time, Batic hears Dana, who tells him that she received EUR 1,000 a month from Karin Lasinger, of which Bernd Lasinger immediately took away EUR 200. This month, however, she used the money herself because her daughter was ill, which Lasinger did not want to see, he reacted brutally and pressed her against the wall. Tobias testimony turns out to be wrong, because he falls for a trick of the inspectors and claims to have killed his father with a hammer. However, the commissioners had deposited it in the workshop before an inspection of the crime scene . An autopsy by Lasinger has shown that he did not die from the head injury inflicted on him, but was suffocated. Somebody covered his mouth and nose with something made of cashmere wool. About Dr. Neuhaus receives Batic further information about illegally employed nurses in Perlach who look after dementia sufferers. From the doctor Dr. Christine Seifert, the partner of the lawyer Roggendorf, to whom she presented the photos of the women from Lasinger's apartment, the inspectors wanted to know which of the women she went to with a deep cut, but received meaningless information. First Tobias Lasinger breaks his silence and tells the inspectors where to find the woman. She works for Georg Weingärtner, whose mother is also suffering from dementia. Liliana, that's her name, testifies that Bernd Lasinger hit her because she couldn't work with her injured hand. He still wanted the 200 euros to be paid to him per month. Weingärtner assures that he is only now finding out that Bernd has taken money from the women. The commissioners suspect that the Roggendorf office is engaged in a lucrative trade in illegal, cheap labor from the east, from which everyone involved - except women - earn a lot. With the help of a general power of attorney for another person , Batic and Leitmayr Roggendorf set a trap that snaps shut. Nineteen families in Bavaria are affected, which leads Batic to remark that this is a license to print money. Having come under such pressure, Roggendorf admits that he wanted to confront Bernd Lasinger. But by then he was lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor. Old Lasinger could testify to that, he almost ran over it. When they confront him with Lasinger, the old man wants to know who he is, he doesn't know him. Max Lasinger has hidden his scarf, with which he suffocated his son, in a pillow. “It's full of blood,” says Batic. “Yes, it's okay,” replies Max Lasinger.

Reviews

“He has a hard time dealing with the extreme tension of reality. Maybe it starts out too leisurely because he relies so much on his top cast. "

- Josef Seitz : Focus Online

“This time, the investigation into the murder case is not really exciting, the path taken when looking at the suspicious old man is exciting. While the commissioners suspect him at the beginning of the drama ('The old people's weapons are their diseases'), it is a resigned sentence from the mother that stays in memory:' The bad thing about the disease is that you no longer know what is true . '"

- Sophie Albers : Star

"A lot of social criticism, but never overloaded."

- TV movie

"[...] The BR [presents] a perfectly shaped mixture: Enlightenment, suspense and bad jokes keep each other in balance. When Leitmayr says that if he got dementia himself, he would reach for the pistol, Batic only replies: 'Hopefully you will then also know where you put it.' "

- Christian Buß , Spiegel Online

“Günther Maria Halmer, sometimes with grand gestures, sometimes unrelenting, sometimes smiling mischievously, is half the battle for this 'crime scene' around an indebted craftsman household, which also takes a look at the German nursing reality. A touching crime drama from the Munich suburb. [...] Halmer finally not as a Degeto senior! He and Johanna Gastdorf [...] as self-sacrificing, tolerant Mama Lasinger are more than half the battle in this thriller about an indebted craftsman household in which the grandfather's dementia tears on everyone's nerves. "
