When 2 murder cases in the town of Schwerin occur, psychologist Hannah Schwarz is asked for help. While the police prefers to think conveniently that one killer is responsible for both cases, she as an expert for such investigations believes two different killers need to be arrested. The whole matter requires a search in the 1970s archives of East Germany, while Hannah tries at the same time to find out more about her father she was separated from for 30 years. He was the first investigator until his sudden demise - and also a suspect!
The strength of this TV movie is that it combines three different themes to a coherent story: a suspenseful murder case, a daughter trying to find out who her father really was, and the remainders of the East/West separation of Germany, as they were still visible more than a decade later. 'Tod Im Park' was so successful that it spawned three sequels between 2005 and 2007.
