action

Commissioner Bessie Eyckhoff's team eavesdrop on a company that is believed to be engaged in illegal insider trading on the stock exchange. The other police officers use the information obtained from the surveillance for their own stock trading. But just as they are about to siphon off their profits, trading in the shares is suddenly suspended, and officials fear they will be discovered. Immediately after this event, the stock exchange supervisory authority commissioned an investigation that Bessie Eyckhoff of all people should carry out. She is supported by BaFin employee Lukas Posse. Eyckhoff knew about the business of her colleagues Wolfgang Maurer, Tobias Rast, Roman Blöchl, Meryem Chouaki and "Calli" and tries to protect them. She has a casual affair with Posse.

Eyckhoff's colleagues are nervous because they not only have to fear being discovered, but also to lose the money they invested. “Calli” in particular is so blown away that he threatens his wife with a knife when she tries to leave him with the children because he has taken out a mortgage on her house. Wolfgang Maurer is also threatened by him. When his wife wants to calm “Calli” he pours acid in her face in anger. Wolfgang then goes on a search for "Calli" together with Tobias Rast in order to hold him accountable. He immediately opens fire on his colleagues and flees. Both are injured, Maurer so badly that he dies a short time later.

Lukas Posse, who not only likes the courageous Bessie Eyckhoff, but also impresses, decides in the end not to betray her and her colleagues because he receives a bribe of 400,000 euros from the bugged company. He reports to the stock exchange supervisory authority that he has found no evidence of insider trading.

"Calli", who is tracked down and arrested by Eyckhoff, is given the opportunity by his colleagues Meryem Chouaki and Roman Blöchl to judge himself by shoving his pistol towards him. Shortly afterwards, a gunshot can be heard while the two are leaving the examination cell and the police building.

Statement from Dominik Graf

“The terrific, exceptional screenwriter Günter Schütter drives me with his ideas and scenic surprises every time like a torpedo propellant. I have to constantly re-examine my directing skills with him, learn new things and do a lot of things differently again this time. It's a story about a police force and that is perhaps one of the most beautiful subjects in the cinema anyway. Loyalty, friendship, breach of faith, betrayal, death. Schütter does not tell a simple moral apostle, but a complex web of dependencies, greed and despair. "

Reviews

This section consists only of a cunning collection of quotes from movie reviews. Instead, a summary of the reception of the film should be provided as continuous text, which can also include striking quotations, see also the explanations in the film format .

“Graf stages Schütter's original - the two last worked together with Matthias Brandt for the Munich 'Polizeiruf' in 2014 - more as an associative stream of images than as a criminological combination piece. As a stock market thriller, the film smears halfway through, but as a milieu thriller it picks up speed again. Warning, ecstasy thriller! "

“Don't just look 'The Lie We Call Future' once, look it a second time. That brings diligence points for sustainability, and also: How often would you like to recommend this in a television thriller? "

- Claudia Tieschky : Süddeutsche Zeitung

“Feverish camera, great music and snotty dialogues. Dominik Graf's Munich 'Polizeiruf' is a thriller about losers and winners - and a game with form and genre. "

- Matthias Dell : The time
