Nice is different is an episode of the German crime series Tatort from 2010. The film by Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk was first broadcast on December 12, 2010 on Das Erste . It is the 783rd crime scene episode and the ninth case with the Leipzig investigator duo Saalfeld and Keppler . In their new case, the commissioners investigate a murder case and find themselves in a milieu of jealousy, affairs, repressed problems, existential fear and alcohol.
action
The body of Jörg Korsack, the head of HR for the municipal transport company, is found in the trunk of a car that has been reported as stolen. Saalfeld and Keppler inform the wife about the death of their husband. She was already worried that he didn't come home overnight. She knows about his numerous love affairs, but he was always home at night. His last affair was with a work colleague, as his wife reports.
Keppler finds out about Korsack's workplace and looks around his office. There he finds a photo of his colleague Mandy Wachowiak, whom he then asks about Korsack. When she receives news of his death, she has a nervous breakdown and claims to be pregnant. Both would have been looking forward to the child and Jörg Korsack wanted to leave his wife to live with her and the child. Sabine Korsack reports quite the opposite. Her husband needed his freedom and never wanted to commit. He would never have left her. She has an alibi for the time of the crime.
The owner of the car in which Korsack was found is Uwe Fischer. On the night of the crime, his son Tobias was admitted to the hospital with 3.6 per thousand and is in a coma. The doctor admits that the injuries could have been from a car accident and that his overall condition is very poor and currently life threatening. Wife Moni Fischer is also one of Korsack's employees and has repeatedly had problems with her boss due to her alcohol addiction. The day before, she and son Tobias were together at the company party. Since the car was obviously started with the right ignition key, it cannot be ruled out that the culprit can be found in the ranks of the Fischer family. Tobias is only seventeen, but there are still traces of him on the driver's seat.
But Korsack's potential successor Siggi Mertens is also suspicious. Like almost all of his employees, he was not enthusiastic about the “newcomer from the west”, who had only taken over the personnel management of the Leipziger Verkehrsbetriebe six months ago and who led the workforce in a more impersonal and colder manner than they were used to in previous years. Mertens often did not agree with Korsack's decisions and did not tell the investigators that Moni Fischer had just received the third warning from Korsack because of her alcohol problems. He was also friends with the Fischers and he had managed to get Tobias an apprenticeship in the company. Due to a dispute between Tobias and Korsack, this commitment was in danger.
Sabine Korsack, who cares more about her husband's affair than she admits, wants to speak to Mandy Wachowiak. She is deeply hurt as her rival is expecting the child she always wanted herself. But because her husband shied away from responsibility, she put her life on hold for him. The debate escalated and when the police were called, Sabine Korsack was stabbed to death on the floor and Mandy Wachowiak was seriously injured.
The investigators find out that Siggi Mertens was last with Jörg Korsack and had an argument with him. He hit his head on the washbasin of the toilet and was dead. Mertens called Uwe Fischer out of fear and he helped him to carry the dead man out of the pub and stow it in the trunk of the car. While they both had a drink to process what had happened, Tobias Fischer got into the car and drove away. This trip ended with the accident at the construction site, where the car was found the next morning.

Reviews
Rainer Tittelbach from tittelbach.tv praises this Leipzig crime scene and writes: “The film tells [of] alcohol addiction, sex addiction, eagerness addiction - and the associated co-dependencies [and these] run through this ninth as themes 'Tatort' from Leipzig. [...] The subject [addiction is] cleverly woven into the crime story. [...] Judith Kennel, a director who is very concerned with film aesthetics, relies on a realism concept here - in keeping with the theme - factual, dry, straightforward: Bormann is allowed to talk, the streets of Leipzig finally come into view, the sober ones Film language (strong: the interrogations towards the end) & the characters are the measure of all things. The actors go one better: Böwe, Brambach, Bormann, Harfouch - perfect dramatic miniatures. 'It's about survival' is said casually in the film. This incidental nature of the difficult makes 'beautiful is different' the best 'crime scene' from Leipzig so far. "
In Stern.de Dieter Hoss judges positively and notes that "leads one or the other plot line on the wrong track, [what] [speaks] for the complexity of the story that total but with a little more drama and excitement would be told can. The latest case by Saalfeld and Keppler becomes more interesting and convincing if you look at it through German-German glasses. The fact that this Leipzig case shows how deep the rifts are even a good two decades after reunification is thought-provoking. So the title of this "crime scene" also has its meaning in this respect: beautiful is different. "
Lorenz Jäger at the FAZ judges cautiously and says that this Leipzig crime scene: “wastes its real potential: the excellent actors. This is due to the so-called taboo subject alcoholism, which pushes the crime story itself into the background. "
The critics of the TV magazine TV-Spielfilm rate this episode as an "emotional story [with] crisp dialogues [and] well cast."
