Story

A three-parter with an excellent cast about one of the most mysterious criminal cases in German post-war history. In the summer of 1989, the sister of Hamburg CID boss Thomas Bethge disappears from her house in Niedersachsen, near to where a series of double murders have been committed. The local police in Wesenburg seem out of their depth and Bethge faces the most difficult task of his life: he wants to find his sister, but as a member of the Hamburg police is not allowed to undertake investigations in Niedersachsen. Undeterred for more than three decades, Thomas Bethge investigates the mysterious case in the face of great resistance until, in retirement, he finally has a lead to the mysterious serial killer… FILMFEST HAMBURG is showing the first part of the three-parter.
