Tatort

For years, Matthias Hecht has been behind bars for raping and abusing the then ten-year-old Leonie König. His act casts a dark shadow not only over the lives of Leonie and her mother Katharina, but also over his own family. The Hechts run a hairdressing salon in the village, which has no customers, even though the Hecht family has broken with Matthias. They don't want to see him at the funeral either. When Matthias Hecht is standing at his father's grave, he is shot at. He is critically injured, the JVA officer guarding him is dead. Klara Blum and Kai Perlmann have to deal with the story of the village tragedy and the injuries to the two families.
Was Hecht injured just as he was regretting his actions and about to start a new life? His volunteer supervisor, Maria Eichhorn, believes that Hecht is an example of successful rehabilitation and has even become engaged to him. But neither his sister Christiane nor Katharina König want to know anything about Hecht's inner transformation. Did any of them take matters into their own hands?
