Where does reality end and where does literature begin? That was the difficult question that drove the team of investigators around Janneke and Brix in the Frankfurt "crime scene" on Sunday. The successful young author Luise had been murdered; In her novel "Luna eats or dies" the first-person narrator reported on her hard life in the social housing - which in turn was based on the real life of Luise's friend Nellie. Investigation work on different levels of reality and time - how should that work?
In our review we wrote: »Nellie, Luise, Luna - in an artful network of flashbacks, visualized book passages and forensic reconstructions, the three roles enter into a symbiotic relationship.
Here each figure is more than its origin, more than a product of its respective reality.
They write their own story (...) That's a nice revenge on reality. "
"Luna eats or dies" was the second Frankfurt "crime scene" within two months.
Another case was filmed in the summer;
Here, too, things will obviously be psychologically tricky: Brix and Janneke have to investigate the deaths of six people who have all been treated by the same therapist - played by Martin Wuttke.
Working title: »Know yourself«.
