Plot (excerpt)
A prostitute with slashed earlobes is found strangled in a pond. Later, Kommissär Hunkeler (Mathias Gnädinger) finds his sidekick Schirmer also murdered with slashed earlobes, however, he gradually begins to doubt his abilities, and later even he's suspended by his boss Staatsanwalt Suter. Thomas Gazoni, owner of a brothel and Marlene Mauch’s lover, Schirmer’s former girlfriend, is strong suspected. As he tells to Hunkeler whose help he's asking, Gazoni (Oliver Tobias) is troubled by his past as a member of the Fahrende minority in Switzerland, and even was a ward of the Kinder der Landstrasse organisation in the 1970s. Although the Basel Police's younger colleague Madörin (Gilles Tschudi) is treating the "Schirmer case" as a murder involving drugs, Hunkeler is of another opinion, ...
Title
The title of the film derives from the German term that may translated also as Hunkeler, tell me about, and refers to Hunkeler's unconventional methods to investigate as police officer.
Background
The television film is the third episode of six films about Kommissär Hunkeler starring Mathias Gnädinger, which were produced for the Swiss television SF DRS between 2004 (Das Paar im Kahn) and 2012 (Hunkeler und die Augen des Ödipus). The Swiss German language movie bases on the 2004 novel Hunkeler macht Sachen by Hansjörg Schneider.[3]
Production
Locations
The production of the Swiss television SRF was filmed at locations in Basel, in the Canton of Basel-Land and in Alsace in France. The film director also produced Das Paar im Kahn in 2004.
Kommissär Hunkeler
To determine Hunkeler's unconventional way, his compassion for the little people, his conflicts with colleagues, make him a geek. The Basel police wants to get rid of him because Hunkeler often does not adhere to the rules. As the film director of the first Hunkeler film loves thick commissioners, Marie-Louise Bless searched for an actor that was thick, credibly embody the representative of the little people and having charisma. Mathias Gnädinger was the ideal choice, even for Hans Jörg Schneider: Gnädinger is Hunkeler is Gnädinger.[4] Mathias Gnädinger, in his early years a stage actor at the Theater Neumarkt at Neumarkt, Zürich, died on 3 April 2015,[5] hence the Hunkeler serial comprises six films in all.
Kinder der Landstrasse
The film refers to the Swiss Kinder der Landstrasse relief organization and the fate of those juvenile Fahrende victims.[6]
So in a short scene, the keeper of the archives handles over to Hunkeler among other documents a film, Kinder der Landstrasse, in which Mathias Gnädinger starred in 1993 as actor.
