Tatort – Sleeping Beauty´s Revenge
2006
Richard Merten (Hans Diehl) is found murdered in his Berlin apartment. The investigation soon prompts the two inspectors Ritter (Dominic Raacke) and Stark (Boris Aljinovic) to venture into the nearby countryside of Brandenburg. Paula (Anna Thalbach), the only relative of the deceased, wants her father to be buried in the village where she spent her childhood. Exactly 20 years ago Paula's mother Emma was murdered in a nearby forest. After her violent death Merten and his daughter left the village of Wieditz for ever. The beautiful, taciturn Paula still hasn't recovered from her mother’s murder, especially since the killer was never found. Ritter and Stark travel to Wieditz with the young woman and soon realise that they are not welcome here. Moreover, Paula's return is also greeted with some hostility. In fact the villagers have constructed a wall of silence: nobody admits to having heard or seen anything when Paula's mother was murdered. The only person who appears to offer Paula some help is her cousin Klaus Merten (Steffen Münster) - but in the end he is only interested in Paula's house, which is on land earmarked for a golf course. Paula is not the only one who suspects that the murders of her parents are connected, and that the background to the killings is to be found here in the village. But the two inspectors are completely in the dark; almost everybody in the village is a possible suspect. Then Inspector Ritter persuades Paula to put out some bait: she announces that she will give her house and property to anybody who has information about the murders. And now a dangerous psychological game is set in motion…
The production also features Joram Voelklein, Hans Uwe Bauer, Hendrik Arnst and Ernst Georg Schwill.
