action

Review: In a stately home, three men argue about unpaid bills. After a shot, one of them lies dead on the desk, next to him is a blood-splattered letter that begins with the line "For Marion."

Present: One of the three men goes from Hamburg's main train station to the red-light district and first of all drinks several grains there, he seems to be desperate. Then he tries to get into a house, but is turned away by a resident. At dawn, a strikingly dressed man is found dead from the Alster. During an autopsy, bath foam is found in his lungs. Further investigations identify him as the failed property owner and porn film producer Heinrich Kehl. He owned a large apartment building in Hamburg, which he had however transferred to his sister Johanna, who now lives on the Amazon. The detective chief inspector Casstorff and his colleague Holicek, as well as the forensics department, found Kehl's apartment clinically clean. Throughout the bank, the tenants have a special relationship with Kehl and with each other. Many felt exploited, some had come to terms with him.

Since the bankruptcy of his real estate empire in Leipzig, Kehl has had a number of corpses in the basement, and not only former business partners have a motive to take revenge on him. Above all, his former employee Friedrich Bürger, whom Kehl had blamed for the bankruptcy in court, has a good reason. Contrary to the initial assumption that a citizen is in Leipzig, Holicek is informed by his wife that he is staying with his cousin Margarete in Hamburg. Friedrich Bürger is one of the three men from the entry scene. During his disoriented and drunk walk through Hamburg, he is suddenly bumped into the street. On the same evening a fire breaks out in the basement of the Kehl apartment building.

Holicek confronts Bürger in the hospital with the death of Kehl, who lets him know that he would have liked to kill Kehl himself, but was too drunk to do so. Two rooms down, Carmen Radzynska, a new roommate in Kehl's apartment building, visits her mentally confused mother Marion Schuller. As she admits to Casstorff, her father was driven into bankruptcy as a building contractor by Kehl in Leipzig because he no longer paid his bills. But they had spoken out and he had rented her an apartment in his house on favorable terms. When Friedrich Bürger wants to discharge himself from the hospital, he meets Carmen Radzynska. Together they get into a taxi. During the journey, the young woman confesses to Bürger that she killed Kehl.

criticism

The critics of the TV magazine TV Spielfilm attested "pretty Hamburg pictures", but criticized the fact that "the story lacks tension" and "the dialogues are bursting with speech bubbles".
