Fat, fat, overweight, what else can you say today? Everything is wrong for this fat guy, he is the perfect perpetrator
A little girl is brutally murdered and her math teacher is suspected. The episode “The Fat Man Loves” shows the dark drama of a society that is brutalizing humanity.

Attempted penetration with an object, probably a stick. This is what the police file says about the death of the little Inca. The girl didn’t come home after school – anyone who has the misfortune of growing up in such desolate circumstances probably doesn’t always find the way home easily. In any case, the delicate, blonde eight-year-old is lying murdered in the allotment garden colony, and immediately the investigators, a stoic Koitzsch (Peter Kurth) and the highly emotional father Lehmann (Peter Schneider), become a Strauss suspect.
Pedophiles everywhere you look
It could be homeless people, someone close to the family, pedophiles. If there wasn’t one that couldn’t be overlooked. Krein, mathematics teacher, someone who must have been last in line on Creation Day. The way Sascha Nathan embodies him, you feel physical pain for his inner torment. Isolated, bullied, at home on the dingy sofa surrounded by hundreds of stuffed animals, his thoughts revolve exclusively around “his” children. “The Fat One” loves her. Too much?
Cold, evil East
The hyper-dreary prefabricated buildings of the East and the social neglect of the people are the backdrop for a remarkable study of the milieu. And if professional Thomas Struber (director) and the multi-award-winning Clemens Meyer (book) had taken their audience more seriously and saved on stereotypes, who knows: Halle an der Saale would have delivered a cult-worthy “police call”.
