Weichende Erben

Centuries-old traditions can lead to bitter conflicts. When Chiara Schoras alias „ Capo " Sonja Schwarz is interested in brokering for the ownership of long-established fruit growers, the Commissioner encounters the hidden trace of an undiscovered crime in „ Weichende Erben ". The screenplay of the 17th. Bolzano crime embeds the nifty crime in a family drama about fraud and extortion. Oliver Mommsen impressively embodies a cunning manipulator that is increasingly becoming the focus of the investigation. The narrative design gives an insight into the living environment of South Tyrolean farmers and their sophisticated irrigation techniques, which go back to the Middle Ages.
During morning jogging, Sonja Schwarz ( Chiara Schoras ) finds a woman's body in an irrigation canal: It is Therese Pfister ( Hanna Binder ), which belongs to a fruit growing dynasty. It seems impossible from the start that it could have drowned in the shallow water of a Waal, as the natural canals of fruit growers are called. The „ Waaler " Urban Mazur ( Saro Emirze ) is suspected because he discovered the dead before the Commissioner and ran away. Together with her colleague Jonas Kerschbaumer ( Gabriel Raab ), the investigator also focuses on family connections. That Therese's marriage to the economically unsuccessful farmer Bruno ( Sebastian Gerold ) was anything but happy, is as much a starting point as clear evidence of the affair with her wealthy brother-in-law Gernot ( Jan Messutat ).
When a fire breaks out on the farm of Therese's parents, whom her older brother Johannes ( Oliver Mommsen ) took over as a sole heir, an undiscovered crime appears. Now Sonja is beginning to take up a trail that leads to bitter family conflicts.
