action

The pupil Felix Voss feels discriminated against by his teacher for a 2+ in a math test. He can't deal with his frustration about it. He shadows the best of his class, which he hates, keeps a record of when and where she is at what time, and makes obscure threatening calls in a disguised voice.

The body of eleven-year-old Malte Rahmani, who died of thirst, locked in a boiler, is found in the boiler room of the Hessian sports center. The boy had previously been missing for ten days and had given up training under the pressure of the demanding performance center. The suspected 32-year-old ex-hooligan and caretaker of the center Sven Brunner, who is said to have had an acquaintance with the eleven-year-old outsider.

The highly performance-oriented sports functionary Joachim Voss, Felix's father, immediately had fears that the murder case could be made public and is personally committed to preventing this. At home, the dominant family man trains his beloved son Felix for top athletic performance, while he suppresses and punishes his sensitive and inconspicuous wife, the horse lover Meike. Meike's relationship with her son Felix, on the other hand, is characterized by great mistrust. When chief inspector Brix Felix Voss, who also visits the performance center regularly as a judoka and rower, asks about the relationship between the victim of about the same age and the suspect Brunner, the intelligent boy eludes any concrete answer.

Anna Janneke speaks to social worker Kristof Waldner, who leads Brunner's self-help course against aggression, to inquire about the suspect's psychological condition. The headstrong, confrontational Waldner explains briefly that he suspects that Brunner instrumentalized Malte Rahmani in order to distinguish himself as a helper without considering the consequences “for his reputation”. When Brunner, who was suspicious of behavior, wanted to start his caretaker job at the sports center again, he was dismissed by Voss, which Brunner did not take well. Waldner, on the other hand, advocates the continued employment of Brunner and therefore tries to put Voss under pressure. Otherwise he intends to step into the media and publicize the (alleged) discrimination against Rahmani and Brunner by the performance center.

The police have now discovered photos on Malte Rahmani's cell phone that show him undressed and entwined with Joachim Voss. When the inspectors ask Voss about his relationship with Malte, the son Felix who happens to be present suddenly gives his father an alibi. In judo, however, the well-trained Felix cannot leave a good impression on the trainer despite his ambition. Although he finds a threatening photo of his classmates in his place, the boy continues to shadow the top of his class undeterred.

Meike Voss seeks violence therapist Waldner to seek advice. She has private problems and murder fantasies against her own husband. Waldner then invites Meike to take part in a role play in which Brunner is also present. Brunner, who is now cooperating with the police, tries to get Meike to make an incriminating testimony about her husband by revealing to her that her son Felix Malte had bullied. Meike does not respond to this or the pressure from the two commissioners. On arrival at home, however, she explains to Joachim that she “told Waldner everything”. Her husband then knocks her down and drives Felix to Waldner, where he physically threatens him and sprays him with pepper spray. Meanwhile, Meike discovers a copy of the photo in Felix's room, which shows Joachim and Malte together, but defaced with jealous vengeance paintings against Malte. When Felix, returning home, surprises her with this, an argument breaks out.

Meanwhile, the rescue workers find that Waldner died of an allergic shock caused by the spray. Voss is then advertised for a manhunt. When Voss returns home shortly afterwards, he finds Meike stabbed to death on the floor and suffers a nervous breakdown. A short time later, the inspectors appear at the scene and find the apparently shocked man with the crime knife in his hand in the house.

During the interrogation that followed, Voss lies and confesses that he killed Meike and Malte Rahmani out of revenge or fear of his pedophilia. At the same time, flashbacks show how Felix lures Malte into the cellar and locks him ice-cold in the kettle. However, thanks to the confession of his loving father, the boy remains at large, but against Janneke's instinct, and is allowed to live with his grandparents. Janneke is still trying to get Felix into conscience and to appeal to his love for his father. Felix then drops the very precisely formulated plan to kill his hated schoolmate shortly before the crime is committed.

reception

Reviews

“The fact that we follow this rugged 'Tatort' is also due to the terrifyingly convincing family ensemble in 'Unter Kriegern'. To Lina Beckmann (' Beware of People ') as a wife who flees the cruelty of her husband and her boy to the riding stables, where she caresses wet horse noses for hours while she dreams of revenge. And to Golo Euler and Juri Winkler, who give the phrase 'like father, like son' an ominous meaning. "

- Christian Buß : Spiegel Online

“Everything about this story is extreme, the mercilessness of the murder, the situation in the Voss family, the seriously disturbed son and the even more seriously disturbed stepfather. The story is too drastic to get boring, but it doesn't touch. Everything is so strongly drawn, so brutally inhuman that the viewer cannot access it. "

- Katharina Riehl : Süddeutsche Zeitung

“It's actually as if she [director Hermine Huntgeburth] entered a competition to find out how to get the most disagreeable people on screen. That is coherent in itself, but tedious to look at: Even the huge villa in which the family is staying - do sports officials earn so much? - has a cold and repulsive effect. "

- Mathias Lerf : Tages-Anzeiger
