Tatort S2014E22 - Eisner - 33 - Paradies

Shortly before she can take off on the plane for her well-deserved vacation, Major Bibi Fellner (Adele Neuhauser) receives a call from the nursing home: Things are coming to an end with her father, with whom she does not have the best relationship. The worried colleague Moritz Eisner (Harald Krassnitzer) accompanies her to Styria, where Bibi's father dies that same night. To her great surprise, he bequeaths the key to a safe deposit box to Bibi, in which the puzzled special investigator finds more than 30,000 euros in cash. However, the old codger was broke and had been living in a retirement home for the poor for the last few years: Where did all that money come from? As a police officer, Bibi Fellner cannot simply ignore this question, especially since her colleague also suspects that there is something fishy about it.
Apparently the bus trips that her father made every week across the border to Hungary were not ordinary coffee trips. Eisner lets his retired colleague Sommer (Branko Samarovski) join one of the rides as an undercover investigator. At first it seems as if it were about unspectacular drug smuggling. But when Sommer is brutally beaten up, it becomes apparent that the seniors are being used as couriers for a much more dangerous business. In this atmospheric crime thriller from the "Tatort" series, Moritz Eisner and Bibi Fellner solve their tenth case together. The popular Austro investigator duo, who were awarded the renowned Adolf Grimme Prize for "Tatort: AnCounted", are confronted this time with the explosive topic of poverty in old age.
Peter Weck shines as a formerly successful entrepreneur who was booted out by his own daughter and ended up in a dreary retirement home. The Styrian Michael Ostrowski sets impressive accents as a dodgy geriatric nurse.
