Tessa Ott and Isabelle Grandjean discovered that the corpse not only had tattoos on the face, but also on the cornea of the eyes. The shocked father reports that he has not had any contact with his son for a long time. Initial investigations lead the inspectors to a sectarian artists' commune. This is led by the charismatic Kyomi. Her "disciples" are exactly like the deceased Max: shaved head, tattoos on the face and cornea - an incredibly painful process. A second trail leads via Kyomi to the gallery owner Bruno Escher. He markets Kyomi's art and could capitalize on Max's death. Would Escher go that far? While Isabelle puts the unscrupulous gallerist through the wringer, Tessa deals with Kyomi's way of thinking and working: like art objects, her followers should wear the pain of her past on their skin and reflect it in their eyes. Did this philosophy lead to Max's death as the ultima ratio of the mind game? Isabelle Grandjean observes Tessa Ott's apparent fascination with Kyomi with great concern: does her colleague run the risk of being exploited by the artist? Is the bright-eyed Kyomi trying to play cat and mouse with the police herself? Or did Beat Gessner not tell the whole truth? Written by ARD Das Erste See less
