Tatort S2019E18 - Lannert - 23 - Anne und der Tod

Paul Fuchs was old, bedridden and in need of care. Nonetheless, his death was not imminent. His diligent family doctor thinks it is possible that he could be killed and calls the police, who drop the case because there is no evidence that he was deliberately not taking any medication. Christian Hinderer was also old, bedridden and in need of care. When he is found dead at the bottom of a flight of stairs, his widow Gundula accuses the geriatric nurse Anne Werner of pushing him down. Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz are called again. Again, no evidence can be found. This time, however, they do not stop the investigation, because: Paul Fuchs was also a patient of Anne Werner. So it is already the second dubious death among the patients of the mobile nursing service within a short time.
But whoever the investigators question, apart from Gundula Hinderer , everyone is full of praise for Anne Werner. She is friendly, competent and completely correct, and that in a job whose conditions are anything but easy. Anne Werner herself calmly but emphatically denies the suspicion. Nevertheless: Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz examine the entire life of the geriatric nurse, question her again and again, and don't give up. Under no circumstances do they want to give up too soon a second time... In the ambiguous "Tatort: Anne und der Tod" written by Wolfgang Stauch and directed by Jens Wischnewski, the Stuttgart inspectors Thorsten Lannert and Sebastian Bootz use all their art of interrogation, they examine daily routines and patients' lives.
As they wrestle with the question of whether their investigations are even appropriate, they also come to terms with what the word nursing emergency means in reality.
