The Munich Team is following the tracks of a missing man who was apparently found months after his suspicious death. The victim was a member of a well-to do family, headed by an eccentric matriarch. As the Kommissars investigate, deep family secrets come to light, dating back to post-War Nazi Germany. Several layers are added to the plot, touching on the impact of Russians on post-War struggles, as well as the East/West issues and more recent struggles for independence of Croatia. In the end, it's always about money, security and social status, not mere survival.
Once gain, Tatort includes socially relevant topics; this time the ever-present struggle for affordable housing. Greedy developers have monopolized property acquisition for the purpose of profitable new housing, caring little or not at all about the struggling working class population, who are squeezed out of their homes to make space for "luxury living" of the affluent few. This remains one of Germany's great challenges.
Surprised at the relatively low viewer ratings, I found this episode to be far above average. As a lifelong fan of the series, the Batic/Leitmeier Team from Munich has always been among my favorites. Highly recommended!
