Children's Paradise

A young mother is found murdered. Initial investigations lead Inspector von Meuffels to an elite kindergarten which projects an aura of perfection to the outside world. Soon though the mask slips: the parents are deeply divided over issues involving an aggressive two-year old. The murder victim was part of this conflict, which over the course of the investigations goes from ludicrous to grotesque.

The parents of its young charges however are deeply divided due to problems with an aggressive two-year old by the name of Bruno who is allegedly biting the other children on a regular basis, leaving them with severe bite injuries. Bruno’s mother, as manager of the kindergarten, is held responsible on two counts. The murder victim was part of this conflict, which over the course of the investigations goes from ludicrous to grotesque. Inspector von Meuffels investigates in a place where appearances are soon found to be deceiving.
