Let the moon stand in the sky is a television film from the crime series Tatort . The contribution produced by Bayerischer Rundfunk is the 1135th Tatort episode and was broadcast on June 7, 2020 in the program Das Erste . The Munich investigator duo Batic and Leitmayr are investigating their 84th case.
action
Judith Kovacic, wife of heart surgeon David Kovacic, is concerned because her son from her first marriage, 13-year-old Emil Ritter, is not in bed one morning. The day before, Emil was playing computer games with his friend Basti Schellenberg, but apparently did not stay the night there. Emil is found dead in the Isar . His cell phone trace ends in a parking lot known as a hangout for anonymous sex . Emil's bicycle is discovered near this place. Since his cell phone has disappeared, the chief inspectors Batic and Leitmayr suspect that Emil filmed something compromising in the parking lot. However, this trail is not growing, despite careful investigations.
However, it turns out that Emil harbored feelings of love for Hannah Schellenberg, who had just turned 18, and secretly observed her. He took a picture of Hannah with David Kovacic picking her up from the train station. She had shortened a tennis camp on Lake Garda to meet the neighbor. Investigators confront Hannah with the photo without telling the parents present who it shows. Hannah's father finds a picture of the doctor on his daughter's things and is outraged. He lies in wait for David and gets violent. David wants to end the affair with the young neighbor's daughter who is visiting him in the hospital shortly before the investigators appear there. David denies the intimacy, which is conveyed to the viewer through a flashback: Emil had observed both of them.
However, the doctor's alibi for the time of the crime is correct, so that the Schellenberg family is now under suspicion. An examination of the 13-year-old Basti's teenage room reveals that Emil bled to death there. In the interrogation, the parents, questioned separately, admit that the punishment was thwarted in favor of their son. As a lawyer, Basti's mother Antonia also knows that her son is not yet of criminal age under Section 19 of the Criminal Code and that she and her husband Martin remain unpunished as relatives under Section 258 (6) of the Criminal Code. Basti had spontaneously killed his friend with his skateboard while playing computer games together. Then his parents transported Emil's body to the Isar, but his bike to the sex parking lot. Basti's motives for the act remain unclear until the end, as he does not answer Batic's question about it. Both he and his parents are still completely cold when the crime is solved, which is especially shocking to Kalli. Hannah, however, packs her things and leaves the family with an unclear destination.
background
The film was shot in and around Munich from September 9, 2019 to October 10, 2019.
The title of the crime scene episode is a line of verse from the four-stanza poem I am tired, go to rest , which the religious poet Luise Hensel wrote in 1816 and which developed into a popular evening prayer for children. The line comes from the last stanza: Send peace to tired hearts / close wet eyes / let the moon stand in the sky / and look at the silent world.
Reviews
“Those responsible for this excellently composed and staged 'Tatort' [...] work with perfidious, precise images and perfidious, precise dialogues: Often, looks, gestures and speech acts mean the opposite of what they are supposed to be expressing. The discreet junk of the bourgeoisie. "
“Leaving time where there is time doesn't have to mean automatically boredom. This film comes out without a bang, without a last false suspicion and turning right before the end. Nevertheless, it is exciting and very mean. And then: frighteningly simple and quiet. "
