This is now not fictional and certainly not a Fake. The Ramstein Air Base near Kaiserslautern is the headquarters of the U.S. air force in Europe. There planning and control of combat drones in operations against alleged terrorists in Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Somalia and Pakistan in a coordinated manner. The “scene of the crime: From heaven high,” from writer and Director Tom Bohn takes this fact and brings it in a double perspective.
As Mirhat Rojan (Cuco Wallraff) who has lost in a US drone attack in Iraq, his two children. The Kurd now lives with his brother Martin (Diego Wallraff) in Ludwigshafen, is the police, because he wanted to make public the actions to be fate’s attention. Anger, revenge, frustration, a lot came together at Mirhat Rojan.
which is also true for Heather Miller (Lena Drieschner). The American soldier was used as a so-called “Screener” in the drone war, and works, because they got depression, now as an ordnance officer. And she was a patient of the psychiatrist Steinfeld, dealing with both civilian victims of war as well as traumatized military members of the U.S. Air Base in Ramstein. Dr. Steinfeld is dead, slain in his practice.
the Commissioner calls inside Lena Odenthal (Ulrike Folkerts) and Johanna Stern (Lisa Bitter). You do not need to inform, as quickly emerged, only a murder, but also stop an attack. Jason O’connor (Peter Gilbert Cotton), state Secretary in the US Department of defense, is expected in Germany. The audience listens to the clock on the wall in the office of the Commissioner, according to the ticking.
This time pressure also prevents the “scene of the crime: From the sky is high,” dramaturgically exceedingly complicated. He has a clear focus, namely the drone attack on the US politicians, although only for a time, it is unclear whether the murder of the psychiatrist, and Heather Miller, are integrated into the action.
author Bohn has a voltage channel, which sucks in all the players and the spectators. Grübel moments included: the cruelty of modern warfare, how closely offenders and Victims together? Bohn says in the press booklet: “war is the greatest enemy of the human soul. He is the actual perpetrator.“ This criminal also wants to be political, to show that the foreign policy of the US Administration, the German Public closer to the issues of military and war and warfare.
More than just action and investigation
The “crime scene” has become, it is a thesis film or a contribution to the debate, even if the voltage – and time-driven investigation and action not only of Murder, detection and prevention of an attack.
Director Bohn know what the author Bohn wants the author to know what the Director needs. The figures are quasi-drone – driven, the finest characterization. You must work in the sense of claim and the statement of the mystery. Only Lena Drieschner as Heather Miller – and, of course, Ulrike Folkerts/Lisa Bitter, it is possible to switch from the performers, to acting.
Just Folkerts will follow, it was agreed to return after the departure of colleague/friend Mario Kopper back to rebellious Form, in its own emancipation own Beliefs. The Bulky on-the-Folkerts-style here with his permission. It is recognizable that the always difficult relationship to Johanna Stern will normalize. Where Lisa should be Bitter to your COP, in appearance and occurs more contrast. A second Lena Odenthal, a Odenthal would be too much in the SWR”crime scene”.
The Internal relations of the Commissioners with wearing the crime. Odenthal caresses the Fiat model car by Ex-colleagues Kopper, before taken of the star in the arms. The sequence from the never-turned soft-porn “Tender ladies” will repeat at the end. But these bitter tears of Lena Makrobet Odenthal have nothing to do with failed relationships.
