action
Eleven-year-old Frieda is found dead in the forest. She was playing outside with two friends of the same age, Linus and Paul. Linus has disappeared and Paul doesn't seem to say everything he knows. From now on, the parents of the three children are in the foreground of the plot and they all have a different connection to the events: Frieda's parents mourn their daughter, Linus' parents are worried about their missing son and Paul's parents, whose son contradicts the police Gives information, want to help somehow. The result of the autopsy suggests that one of the two boys could be the "culprit", both due to the short distance from which the fire was fired and the low incidence of the bullet, which suggests that the shooter is about the same size as Frieda was.
The investigators find a hiding place with several firearms, all from the same local major manufacturer, not far from where Frieda was found. This is an important factor for the regional economy, which is why the investigators, especially the superior Cornelia Harms, are careful not to annoy the company. It turns out that the weapons were never sold, but stolen from the company, which they did not report. However, on the advice of the Interior Minister, this fact is not made public and the theft report is backdated.
Paul's father is an employee of the weapons manufacturer. Since, despite many years of effort, he had seen no prospect of permanent employment, he stole the weapons and intended to sell them. For now he had hidden them in the forest. Paul had noticed, who took his two friends of the same age there to show them the weapons. Paul's father had taken out the magazines beforehand, but hadn't taken into account that there might still be a bullet in the barrel. With this, Linus accidentally shot Frieda while playing with the gun. Startled, he hides in the forest from now on, what Paul knows and hides.
The laborious search with a police helicopter brings no results, as does the search of the forest with a police chain. Only after Linus stole something edible from a gas station shop and was noticed because of the gun in his hand, Inspector Tobler found him in his hiding place a little later. After some timid hesitation, he tells the cautiously proceeding inspector what happened. Paul leads Frieda's and Linus' fathers to the place where the weapons were found. When his father also shows up to get the weapons, Frieda's father threatens him with a pistol; the intervening Commissioner Berg was able to prevent an escalation just in time.

reception
Reviews
“'Goldbach' is a calm, almost elegiac crime drama that is free of any frills. [...] A pleasantly weather-intensive 'crime scene', in which the investigators and the filmmakers take the environment as it is. "
“The death of a child changes everything. And no one can match it. This crime scene is strong when it stays close to its characters. Another narrative thread wants to include the topics of arms trade and connections to the high circles of state politics, but this does not work properly. Solid start of work, even without Harald Schmidt, who should have played a chief detective, but then canceled. "
