Up the slopes, down the slopes: Berg and Tobler at the crime scene

The scenario:

The vineyards up, the vineyards down - this is how it is for Franziska Tobler (Eva Löbau) and Friedemann Berg (Hans-Jochen Wagner) in their current investigations.

After the wine festival in the Kaiserstuhl, a radio presenter (Victoria Trauttmansdorff) was raped on her way home.

The DNA traces on the victim point to an old, unsolved murder case in Alsace, France.

How do I handle the data?

When rumkurven in the Kaiserstuhl, possible perpetrators are interrogated and legal-philosophical implications of DNA screening are discussed.

The highlight:

Victim trauma, men's fears, statistical problems and data protection issues: The difficult topic of DNA testing should be encircled from so many angles here.

Too many.

Soon the focus will be lost.

The picture:

Three white figures descend into the dark green of the wine landscape.

It is the two investigators and the victim in forensic protective clothing who want to inspect the site of the rape together.

The dialogue:

Tobler and Berg discuss how to handle DNA data in the car.

Then this somewhat stilted conversation:

Berg: "If we were allowed to read a few more physical characteristics from the perpetrator's DNA, then we could also reduce the number of suspects. Then we would not just need to save 500 men, but only 30."

Tobler: "Yes, but we would have so much information from the 30, some of which are none of our business. They are totally intimate. It's about genetic material, diseases and so on."

The song:

"Pata Pata" by Miriam Makeba.

The Afropop classic runs at the winery party when the later victim sets off on their way home through the dark wine trails - and always reverberates in the crime story when the woman remembers the crime.

The review:

3 out of 10 points.

Interesting case - which quickly gets lost in columns of numbers and zigzag dramaturgy.
