A Tyrolean “country thriller” by MeToo in the hands of women

Mirjam Unger staged the delicate case “The Girl from the Mountain Lake” with a well-dosed Tyrolean “sch” and a feminine look.

“Tyrol, where the world is still in order,” reads the billboard. But it is not so idyllic when Patricia Aulitzky as Lisa Kuen investigates for the first time in a “rural detective novel” (December 8, 8:15 pm, ORF 1): In “Das Mädchen aus dem Bergsee” a young prostitute is seen with a backpack fish from the water full of stones. The case soon leads the emancipated and confident Tyrolean police to sensitive issues and their own family history. . .

When Eva Testor was working on the script, the MeToo debate started. This is how a researcher becomes a researcher. Mirjam Unger acted with Testor as a cameraman and a crew of women (producer Gabriele Kranzelbinder, production designer Katharina Wöppermann). You can tell that not only because the coroner wears earrings as if he were at the opera ball. “Especially with the issue that plays an important role in this ‘crime of the country’, women don’t have to explain anything to ourselves,” says Unger. “I can trust the careful look of the camera, how he shoots it, how he looks at who.”
