Bretonische Verhältnisse

Bretonische Brandung
90 mins
He's finally done it: With the help of a charmed tongue, Inspector Georges Dupin has persuaded his ex-girlfriend Claire to visit him on the Breton coast. An intimate hotel with a sea view and some undisturbed time together should help him win her back. But then a mysterious case puts a stop to his romantic plans. Ten nautical miles off Concarneau, on the beach of the picturesque island of Saint Nicolas, three bodies wash up: Lucas Lefort, who ran a sailing school on the island, the shady building contractor Yannig Konan, and the wealthy bon vivant Grégoire Pajot. When Dupin learns that the three had set off on a sailing trip after a boozy evening in the island bar despite a storm warning, he wants to write the case off as a tragic accident. But the autopsy reveals that the victims had a powerful narcotic in their bloodstreams in addition to alcohol - thus turning the supposed accident into murder. Dupin hopes to gather clues from the small island's few inhabitants - and initially hits a brick wall. No one seems to be sad about the men's deaths. At least he discovers that Lefort was hated not only for his arrogant manner, but above all because of a construction project: He wanted to build a huge holiday resort on the nature reserve. But Dupin quickly realizes that neither Lefort's melancholic sister Muriel nor the militant marine biologist Leussot nor the aloof restaurant owner Solenn are telling him the whole truth. Each of them seems to be keeping a secret - and the further Dupin penetrates into the world of the close-knit island community, the deeper he gets drawn into a labyrinth of corruption, jealousy, and revenge.

In der herrlichen Weinregion des Muscadet macht ein Mord an einem Gutsbesitzer dem frischgebackenen Ehepaar Georges und Claire Dupin die gerade begonnenen Flitterwochen zunichte. Hin- und hergerissen zwischen Privat- und Berufsleben muss Pasquale Aleardi alias Kommissar Dupin die Ermittlungen zu seinem zwölften Fall "Bretonischer Ruhm" aufnehmen - und kommt zwischen großen Weinen und alten Namen schicksalhaften Geheimnissen auf die Spur. Nach einem Drehbuch von Eckhard Vollmar inszenierte Holger Haase den 12. Einsatz des eigenwilligen Kommissars an Originalschauplätzen in der Bretagne. Die literarische Vorlage für diesen spannenden Krimi stammt wieder aus der Feder von Bestsellerautor Jean-Luc Bannalec. Kommissar Dupin (Pasquale Aleardi) und seine Claire (Christina Hecke) haben den entscheidenden Schritt gewagt, sie haben geheiratet. Ihre Flitterwochen führen sie zu Claires Freundin Cécile Katell (Birte Hanusrichter), die mit ihrem Ehemann Brian (Markus Frank) das berühmte Weingut Katell betreibt. Doch Dupins und Claires Aufenthalt steht unter keinem guten Stern: Kaum sind sie angekommen, wird Brian tot aufgefunden. Trotz Flitterwochen überredet Claire Dupin, den Mord aufzuklären. Unterstützt von Inspektor Kadeg (Jan Georg Schütte) und Polizistin Nevou (Gisa Flake) ergründet Dupin die Geheimnisse des Chateaus: Da gibt es die benachbarte Winzerfamilie Joly, die das angeschlagene Chateau Katell übernehmen will; die junge Angestellte Emily (Luisa Binger), die eine Affäre mit Brian hatte - wovon Cecile wusste; Emilys Verlobten Alain (Josef Heynert) - angeblich Brians bester Freund. Außer Gutsverwalter Marchand (Jürgen Heinrich) scheint niemand wirklich um Brian zu trauern. Und in diesem ganzen undurchdringlichen Geflecht aus Lügen, Enttäuschung und Gier ist plötzlich Claire verschwunden.
