Greater murder mystery / cop film from Austria

Very good Austrian murder/police movie. Well directed, written and acted, with good cinematography and a nice surprising story, with well devised plot twists. The opening scene is excellent, presenting the scene of crime in a long take with no apparent cut until the very first and important cut. Among all good actors and actresses, the great performance of Stefanie Reinsperger in the leading role may be highlighted. The script has good dialogues, a structure that keeps spectator's interest and adds discreetly elements that will be important for the convincing ending, and brings many important subjects through the interaction of its well developed characters. Besides the good murder mystery plot, the film also addresses important issues, such as queer affection, diverse family structures, conservatist hypocrisy, corruption and power laying above the law and the rights, the difference between "distinguished" people and the "expandables" in hierarchical unfair society, and the recurrent idea that a former criminal may be considered forever as an evil and non-recoverable person. Cogratulations for Austrian TV ORF Landkrimi film series.
