Odenthal - 67 - Waldlust

For the coaching weekend with team trainer Simon Fröhlich, Lena Odenthal and her colleagues Johanna Stern, Peter Becker and Ms. Keller travel to a remote hotel in the middle of the Black Forest. Upon arrival, it becomes clear why Ms. Keller got the hotel so cheaply: The good days of the "Lorenzhof" are definitely over. One of the operators, Bert Lorenz called Humpe, seems extremely dismissive; the other, his niece Doro, very eager for it. There is also an in-house diva: the old actress Lilo Viardot, who haunts the hotel as a permanent guest. The inspectors don't let the oddities scare them at first. But when they find a human bone in the vegetarian dinner, their investigative curiosity is piqued. From the local police couple Jörn and Elli Brunner they learn that hotel operator Humpe has served twelve years in prison for the murder of his sister-in-law and has been waging a private feud against Jörn Brunner since his return. Doro, in turn, seems convinced that her uncle is innocent in prisonsat. The commissioners let the coaching be coaching and concentrate on the search for clues. Did someone lure her to the Lorenzhof on purpose? And is there actually an unsolved murder case? While a snowstorm cuts the hotel off from the world outside, Lena Odenthal and her team investigate a case that is not only becoming more and more mysterious, but also more spooky.
An eerie old house, figures that obviously have something to hide, bones buried in the basement: In "Tatort: Waldlust" things get fun and horrible for the investigators and the audience. With an ensemble of actors experienced in improvisation, director Axel Ranisch shot a crime scene that brings the deadly family story from the past right into the creepy present. Film composer Martina Eisenreich wrote a four-movement crime scene symphony for large orchestra based on Sönke Andresen's screenplay without dialogue.
