Bremen Tatort Takes On Student Hardship Ahead of Sunday Broadcast

Early reviews spotlight a socially charged case centered on a law student's death, with one investigator confined to a hospital bed.

Overview

  • Tatort: Wenn man nur einen retten könnte is scheduled to air Sunday, January 25 at 20:15 on Das Erste.
  • The story opens with law student Annalena Höpken found dead outside a nightclub, using her fate to examine financial strain, housing costs, performance pressure and pill use.
  • After an early injury, Linda Selb continues the investigation from her hospital bed while Liv Moormann leads fieldwork with support from KDD colleague Patrice Schipper.
  • Investigators learn the victim came from a once-wealthy family that lost everything, with the narrative extending to her mother and teenage sister.
  • Reviews highlight the episode’s social critique but question the credibility of the victim’s shared flat, while noting direction by Ziska Riemann and a script by Elisabeth Herrmann and Dr. Christine Otto.
