Girls shouldn't see this.

Nobody should see that.

A man is thrown over a bridge parapet.

A rope on your feet, a sack over your head.

It's dark.

It is cold.

Again and again the head is dropped into the raging brook.

We do it all the time at home, Pippo will say afterwards, he holds the rope.

Calabria is at home.

Now is Munich.

The man on the rope is a big animal at the building authorities, no longer wants to play the game of the mafia.

The girl who sits in the car and sees what she shouldn't see is Sophia.

She is Luca's daughter.

He helps Pippo on the rope because he thinks he has no chance against Palladio, the godfather, against Pippo.

Because they have it in their hands.

He strangled his wife because he felt he had no choice.

In Dortmund that was and at the very end of the first part of the “Tatort” anniversary case “In the Family”.

He told of the violence breaking into a family.

Pippo was this violence, the family were Luca and Sophia and Juliane, who went to the police because they wanted a choice, a chance for a normal life without the Mafia.

Bernd Lange tells the story of the downfall of a family as an archaic tragedy.

Ultimately, it is a tragedy of women who - which is not uncommon in ancient tragedies - are crushed between the millstones of a man-poisoned world while trying to escape.

Two parts, one story

Juliane did not survive.

Sophia, who was a rebel in the first part, becomes a warrior.

Martially tied hair, resistance in view, she has a mission, she wants to know the truth, the truth about her mother.

Dominik Graf staged Lange's multi-perspective first part as the perfect police thriller that it is.

Pia Strietmann's second part is of course also about policemen, commissioners who cannot contain themselves, who keep getting over the edge of their composure, about a corrupt society and godparent women and children who come to terms.

The epicenter of the disaster, however, which hurts everyone who sees what he actually doesn't want to see but cannot look away from, that is the epicenter is Emma Preisendanz.

18 years old, actress since she was nine.

She is Sophia.

She is almost like Alina Levshin once was the right-wing radical “warrior”.

Absolutely, from burning cold, bursting from suppressed energy.

Nobody can help her.

She would not let anyone help her.

You want to know what happens to her in the end.

Whether there is still a god who shows gentleness, as gods liked to do at the end of tragedy.

If nothing helps, you have to look.
