action
The youngsters Karim Löscher, Enno Bartsch and Pascal Weller break into the mortuary of an undertaker at night , where their recently deceased vocational school teacher Dirk Rebmann is lying. They take the corpse out of the refrigerator and stick a pig's tail into its anus , have fun and film the whole thing. Enno is so drunk that he falls asleep on one of the couches; the other two leave it there.
The next morning, Enno is found dead in the refrigerator. Another noticeable feature is the pig's tail, but now in a trash can. Rebmann's corpse does not arouse suspicion at first (as it is covered again), but Inspector Stellbrink now notices that the body of the former Tour de France stage winner, who allegedly died of heart failure , has blisters typical of tablet poisoning. This is confirmed at the autopsy , while Enno's cause of death is hypothermia . Stellbrink soon comes across the video that is already in circulation in the school and Enno's friends who finally confess to the desecration of the corpses . However, they vehemently deny having pushed Enno into the refrigerator. They also say they did not restore the body to the original condition in which it was found.
Enno had been expelled from school because he kept coming there drunk. Rebmann was the one who informed him of this decision. Enno was regularly beaten by his father, especially after he was kicked out of vocational school. Karim is Rebmann's stepson , with whom he didn't have a good relationship at all. He is training to be a cook ; his trainer Jean Carlinó is like a fatherly friend to him. Karim was in a relationship with Pascal Weller's sister Rebecca before his stepfather gave her father information about Karim's past as a petty criminal. Rebecca then broke up with her boyfriend. He later tells her about the plan to take her own life. Pascal Weller, the son of a wealthy butcher family, who also got the pig's tail for the morgue video, confesses to getting drugs for Karim.
It turns out that Rebmann died of a drug-drug cocktail. When the racing bike that Rebmann rode on the day of his death is found, traces of the medication can still be found on the bicycle drinking bottle. In addition, traces of lipstick were found on the body during the autopsy .
Karim is suspected of killing his stepfather and spends a night in police custody . Meanwhile, Carlinó goes into Enno's father Hermann Bartsch's apartment, first practices Enno's handwriting and then copies Enno's entire diary that he wrote about his father's abuse. He adds a seemingly last entry by Enno to have killed Rebmann. The murder is supposed to be blamed on the dead Enno. After Karim initially refused to testify, he accused Enno the next morning and told the police about his diary. He had previously discussed this with Carlinó. Bartsch's apartment is searched and the diary is found. Stellbrink immediately suspects that it is fake. He gets a sample of Enno's writing from his former vocational school and has it evaluated by an expert.
In the school secretariat, Stellbrink discovers traces of the same lipstick on a cup that was found on Rebmann's body. The headmistress finally has to admit that she had a relationship with Rebmann two years ago. His marriage to Karim's mother was unhappy. During the night she passed the morgue and went inside because the door was open. The desecration of the body of her former lover made her so angry that she pushed the sleeping Enno into the refrigerator.
Faced with forging Enno's diary, Carlinó himself confesses to the killing of Rebmann. Stellbrink still doubts his guilt. It turns out that Carlinó has cancer and probably won't live long.
Stellbrink seeks out Karim and his mother and sets up a theory of how the crime could have happened: Karim wants to take his own life with a mix of pills and Pascal's drugs. Then he changes his mind and thinks it is more correct that Rebmann, who is held responsible for breaking up with Rebecca, should die. When Karim denies this version, Stellbrink immediately presents a second theory: The mother caught Karim attempting suicide ; he runs away, and she accuses her returning husband that Karim wanted to kill himself because of him. He dismissed it lightly, and she fills the deadly cocktail into his drinking bottle. Karim and his mother deny that it happened that way. Stellbrink then describes the fate that awaits Carlinó, whereupon Karim - as he is already walking - confesses that he left his mother alone with the drug mixture . The police then take her away. With his false admission, Carlinó wanted to achieve that “at least she will stay with him” when he dies. He will be released. In response to his contemptuous remark "You did a great job", Stellbrink replies: "I am responsible for the truth, not for justice."

Reviews
At Prisma.de, Florian Blaschke said that this crime scene is waiting for you: “With illustrious characters who always make you laugh, but are never just funny. And with a story whose many loose ends offer what can confidently be called puzzle fun - and a plot that is fast-paced, well thought-out and wonderfully entertaining. And that without neglecting the portion of drama that a good detective story needs, the trace of interpersonal rifts that sometimes turn life into murder and manslaughter. "
Volker Bergmeister from tittelbach.tv said: “A well-built, not overloaded story with twists and turns and surprises, a detective who no longer wants to be different without having to forego an individual investigation style, a series figure that finally seems to have arrived: The Saarbrücken 'Tatort - Sons and Fathers' is (...) clearly staged and with a coherent and stringent theme: Sons and Fathers - you can tell a lot about that. "
“It is possible that those responsible had in mind to report on the disappearance of male leading figures and the associated alleged disorientation of male adolescents. The figures remain far too one-dimensional for that. [...] The plausibility factor: Very low. Diffuse gender images meet amateur forensic scenes. "
“After a few catastrophes at the beginning of his term of office, Stellbrink is turned down to normal temperature, a gentle, but not a strange inspector. […] Beyond Stellbrink, however, there is still a lot of adventure in this story about fathers and surrogate fathers and sons and family hells as a whole. [...] the crime scene strives so diligently for comedic charm that botch comes out of it. "
"'Sons and Fathers' is not spectacular, but it is solidly made: The SR's new crime scene is slowly growing up."
