action
Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner are standing at the airport and are looking forward to two weeks of well-deserved vacation. But then Fellner receives a call that her father, with whom she has no contact and who lives in an old people's home, is dying. She grew up with her aunt as a child after the early death of her mother. Therefore, she has no real relationship with her father. Eisner drives her to the old people's home where the old man has lived for the past few years. She comes in time to be with him when he falls asleep peacefully. Although she was not in close contact with her father, Bibi Fellner's death affects her emotionally. A resident of the home, Helene Haider, secretly hands her an envelope with the note that her deceased roommate had asked her to deliver the letter to her. Bibi Fellner opens the letter in the presence of Eisner; Inside there is a short letter in which old Fellner asks his daughter for forgiveness and a key to a safe deposit box . In addition to memorabilia, there are also more than 30,000 euros in cash in the locker. Fellner and Eisner are amazed that the deceased was actually broke and was living on welfare . In the compartment there is also a second bag from a certain Erwin Schliesser, which also contains large amounts of money. Helene Haider, who handed Bibi the envelope, is talking to two other residents; she no longer wants to "participate in the matter". Paul Ransmayr threatens her that this could have consequences. She promises not to talk to anyone about the matter and accuses Ransmayr of walking over corpses to get out of the home. He wants to go on.
Ransmayr goes to Hungary with other residents the next day, as everything is cheaper there. You have been doing this shopping tour once a week for a while. Helen Haider does not go with us, however. Bibi Fellner asks Helene Haider about Erwin. He was the dead Fellner's roommate and died of a heart attack on the bus two weeks ago on the way back from Hungary . Bibi wants to hand the bag over to the management of the home, but Helene Haider doesn't want that at all. The officials determine that the pensioners go to Hungary every Wednesday and put large amounts of money of unknown origin in the bank every Thursday. Moritz Eisner decides to smuggle a retired colleague, Reinhard Sommer, undercover into the home. Sommer quickly finds out that Ransmayr absolutely wants to get out of the home, but that cannot be done with 80 euros a month. A few years ago he wrote over his fortune and his company to his daughter, who then “deported” him to the home. Sommer manages to join Ransmayr's team. Ransmayr and his team smuggle drugs from Hungary to Austria for 200 euros a week. Some in the group do not hide the fact that Sommer is talking to Eisner and Fellner, but he actually goes on the tour to Hungary. Eisner and Fellner follow the bus to Budapest . Fellner thinks the effort is ridiculous, since it is obvious that only a few pensioners shop here for less. Ransmayr sends Sommer to a pharmacy. He should pick something up there with a prescription. The bus driver who was also involved noticed that Fellner and Eisner followed the group to Hungary. Ransmayr says to an accomplice that they have to "act" on the summer.
Eisner thinks his company is a flop. Shortly afterwards, he and Fellner had a flat tire before the return trip, Bibi suspected sabotage. On the way back, Sommer is almost beaten to death in a rest area by the bus driver and Günther in the toilet. He's probably broken his skull. Ransmayr's grandson Daniel, who is the mastermind behind all the smuggling, wants to look for other sales channels through the Czech Republic, as parts of the delivery have now been missing twice in a row. Ransmayr asks his grandson not to drop him. He would only need to go on for another year, then he could afford an evening of life in Spain. Since his grandson remains tough, Ransmayr takes a bust and kills Daniel from behind. He then hides his grandson's body in the basement with a nurse from the home. Forensic medicine has now found out that Erwin Schliesser was poisoned with an overdose of the drug crystal meth . The police raided the old people's home at the same time as their colleagues in Hungary. Two residents say that Ransmayr recruited them and that they did not know at the beginning that it was drug smuggling. In both Austria and Hungary, large parts of the drug ring are arrested and the masterminds arrested. In the basement of the old people's home, the officers finally find Daniel Ransmayr's body; his grandfather disappeared without a trace. Traces of blood show that Daniel was killed in his grandfather's room.
Eisner and Fellner go to Ransmayr's daughter, but she doesn't know where her father is. Eisner and Fellner drive to the airport because Bibi suspects that Ransmayr wants to go south because he dreams of "paradise". In fact, Ransmayr is at the airport, but due to the large police presence, he leaves it again. He drives back to his old company and there jumps off the roof into "paradise", into death.

Reviews
“' Breaking Bad ' in Styria? Not really. While in the series the run-down US middle class is conclusively connected with the misery drug, the bizarre business cooperation between the run-down old people and crystal meth dealers remains in the 'crime scene'. [...] The Austrian butter journey into the drug milieu leaves the viewer rather intoxicated. "
“A film awaits the viewer under the title“ Paradise ”, which underlines the morbid message of the abandoned old people with the cliché of the backward province and pokes around vigorously in the people's soul [...] whereby the Styrian retirement home and inn always look as if they were The war only recently ended here, while the residents of the home appear as vigorous and satiated as if they had been recruited in a posh residential area in Vienna. "
“'Paradies' by Uli Brée and Harald Sicheritz does not develop the pull of the past ORF crime scenes, and compared to the recent police call in Munich, the matter sometimes seems rather sluggish. The story from Austria drags on; it is up to the Austrians to follow it anyway. The grandiose Burgtheater man Branko Samarovski plays a warm-hearted, devious snoop, and the investigative couple Krassnitzer / Neuhauser as Eisner and Fellner is bigger than any case at the moment. Your dialogues are as worth listening to as your self-talk. "
