This Berlin Tatort episode is more than just another Karow/Rubin team effort investigating a murder case. This episode is about being a partner to count on when the going get's tough. It's about choosing between self and others. It's about what really matters in life. Who would sacrifice their own happiness and safety for that of another?
It is the morning of her son's big day. Today he becomes a man. The Bar Mitvah ceremony had been long planned, and Hauptkommissar Rubin, already separated from her deeply religious husband, had promised to be in attendance. As the ceremonies begin, Rubin is called to work on her well deserved day off. Rubin is torn between disappointing her family and responding to the emergency to help out her colleague. Once again, it seems that she's married to her work, leaving the ceremony amid deep disappointment in her already estranged husband's expressions.
Sometimes life gives us difficult choices. Karow and Rubin both learn some of life's most bitter lessons. The viewer will not be disappointed, because this is a superior suspense thriller with deep psychological themes cleverly woven into the story. My favorite Karow/Rubin teaming to date. Highly recommended!
