Tod in der Siedlung While Schimanski is buying his after-work six-pack at a petrol station, 14-year-old Lena Krawe approaches him with a pretty clear offer. “It’s already gone that far,” Schimanski says to himself. He starts to take a different look at the area he and Lena are living in. Suddenly, a car is set on fire, right next to where he lives. Schimanski knows immediately that this didn’t happen accidentally. It was murder! The victim was a known local emplyoment agent, Matthias Zimmermann. Almost everybody disliked him, especially the girls. Schimanski is convinced that there is more than simple revenge behind the façade of unemployment, gambling and prostitution. He knows those people quite well, they are at the lower end of society, but they would never just simply kill someone. He meets Lena’s dad, who lost everything by gambling. Schimanski knows that Lena’s dad has a fitting motive for the murder, but he doesn’t believe Krawe is capable of killing anyone. Another murder happens at a building site nearby. The dead worker had close connections to Zimmermann. Schimanski is confronted by a riddle he is determined to solve.

Wer frueher stirbt ist laenger tot GRAVE DECISIONS You can never be too young to be a murderer, thinks 11year-old Sebastian, who’s convinced that he killed his mother at the age of 0. The proof is on her tombstone: she died the day he was born! Though his father Lorenz tries to calm him, Sebastian is terrified by the thought of spending years in purgatory. Hoping to knock off a few years by doing good deeds, he sets out to find a wife for his dad. The heavens must be listening, since Lorenz and Sebastian’s teacher Veronika both fall madly in love with each other. The only problem is: Veronika is married. But since Sebastian already killed his mother, surely it’ll be easy to kill a stranger … Genre Comedy Category Feature Film Cinema Year of Production 2006 Director Marcus H.
