When the eldest daughter Sonnhild suddenly dies, Franziska Tobler and Friedemann Berg investigate the death. Friedemann has known Volkmar Böttger since school and is impressed by how enthusiastic and principled his childhood friend manages his large family and the farm. Because the coroner did not confirm a suspicion of incorrect diabetes treatment against the Böttgers doctor, Friedemann Berg is relieved that the family can mourn in peace. Franziska Tobler, however, considers the doctor's statements to be protective claims and has other clues to keep the investigation going. The behavior of Torsten Schmidt, for example, Sonnhild's fiancé who lives on the farm. He and his younger sister Mechthild react conspicuously evasively to questions about Sonnhild's life and her illness. In general, Franziska seems strange about the life of the Böttgers, which is completely focused on the farm and the community. Friedemann, on the other hand, comes from a Black Forest farm himself and can better understand the commitment to small-scale agriculture and the fervor with which Volkmar Böttger talks about it. Especially since Volkmar welcomes him with open arms and wants to revive the previous friendship. When Franziska finds out that Torsten Schmidt belongs to a homeland security team, Friedemann also takes a closer look and the inspectors discover not only inconsistencies in the statements about Sonnhild's last months and her death, but also the Böttgers' attitudes, which are strongly reminiscent of the attitudes of ethnic settlers. Volkmar's commitment to Torsten now appears in a completely different light. Written by ARD Das Erste See less
