The Rostock “Police Call 110” is so good: Are we born evil?

Eva Greuner and her son Milan live in a small house on the outskirts of Rostock, on the forest, isolated from her surroundings. Eva decided that. Her son has been aggressively excluded since birth. Milan is the son of a women’s murderer and the result of rape. Milan is also born for his mother: evil. Killing is in him.

A strong, a provocative starting point in the Rostock “Police call 110” (Sunday, ARD, 8:15 p.m.)who, against the background of the murder of a woman in the forest, asks basic questions: Can evil be innate? Is there a criminal gene? And in concrete terms: Isn’t the child who was created during a rape as not as valuable as a child of love?

When the young animal welfare activist Sarah is shot in the forest, for most people it is obvious to see who the perpetrator is: Milan, also on a video how this, with a shoulder rifle, is attacked and beaten up by activists in the forest.

Genetically differentiates people from the pig. Basically, we are just mammals with weapons.

The doubt also gnaws at Eva (Jördis Triebel). Why is your son, the son of a women’s murderer, capable of? He always reminds her of her rape due to his mere existence. Her great concern, he could get after his father, has a destructive effect on her and his life.

The fact that the suspicion of Milan (Eloi Christian) cannot be far from can be revealed here without spoiling too much. The stigmatized outsider is rarely the murderer.

For this, the book (Elke Schuch and Catharina Junk) throws a handful of suspects in the crime story: the Jägergemeinde around the forester family Cobalt, who not only has trouble with poachers, radical animal rights activists and pretended upright, but also with the Bigotten Förstersmann, who cheats on his wife. Or Sarah’s roommate Paul (Jonathan Lade) from the activist shared apartment, whose girlfriend Nele was seriously injured in the attack in the forest.

While the investigators Katrin König (Anneke Kim Sarnau) and Melly Böwe (Lina Beckmann) pursue the suspicions, assisted by the usual moody team Thiesler (Josef Heynert) and Pöschel (Andreas Guenther), Melly’s daughter Rose comes to visit and wants to learn more about her biological father. Melly blocks. Katrin wonders what to hide her colleague.

In the end, you suspect, the thriller spins a red thread between Melly’s dysfunctional mother/daughter relationship and Eva’s ambivalent conflict with son Milan, torn between love and rejection, as a result of the experience experience.

Is evil now innate? Shouldn’t Milan, the perpetrator son, shouldn’t be born from Eva’s point of view? Does she regret your decision? These are noble, exciting questions, at least more exciting than the perpetrator resolution in this quite predictable thriller.
