action

Atze Pöhlein, owner of the Roxi nightclub , finds his girlfriend Bibi naked on the street after taking heroin again. He suspects that she has received the drugs from drug delivery man Richie, looks for him and catches him with a kilogram of heroin. He threatens Richie with a gun and takes the heroin. At first he plans to destroy the substance, but then wants to take over the sale to the actual dealers himself so that Bibi can use the money to go to a Swiss clinic. She is nine weeks pregnant and wants to finally get clean; both want to start a family.

Surprisingly, the police, including Vera Bilewski and her partner Heiner Speth, are present at the material handover. The dealers shoot Vera, who is hit in the arm while Atze runs away with the heroin. Heiner brings him down after a long sprint. Both know each other, because Atze was once with Heiner's sister, who was also addicted to heroin and who took her own life when she was a minor. Atze convinces Heiner that he did not shoot Vera, and Heiner lets him go after taking the drugs.

Heiner blurs the tracks, so he erases the video tapes showing the drug delivery. Vera becomes suspicious and hands over the tapes to the police equipment. They find out that the tapes were originally recorded and only subsequently deleted. Meanwhile, the dealers turn to Richie, who is supposed to buy back the confiscated drugs from the police. It soon becomes clear why the police were there on the day the drugs were handed over: Richie's ex-girlfriend Anja, who is raising their child, knew that Richie wanted to shoot a big thing that evening. Since she watched in the Roxi how Richie brought younger and younger women to drug use, she reported Richie's plans to the police. Anja is sorry that Atze was caught.

Vera gets to know Atze's mother by chance and finally finds out when Heiner's mother visits that Heiner's sister and Atze were once a couple. Meanwhile Heiner gets more and more into trouble. After a night of drinking and drinking, he wakes up next to Richie's corpse. Then he is turned from the dealers to their boss Dr. Frankincense quotes, which makes it clear to him to insist on a buyback of the substance. However, it is in Heiner's office. Vera, in turn, has meanwhile withdrawn his participation in the case because he knowingly obstructed the investigation to cover Atze.

Bibi, who is no longer supplied with heroin by Richie, suffers from cold withdrawal . Atze brings her to his mother, where he meets Vera. Vera tries to arrest him, but Atze can easily escape Vera, who is wearing a cast as a result of the shooting. Vera initially exonerated Heiner for the further investigation, who has an alibi for the period of Richie's murder. One evening Heiner stands at her door. He made mistakes in the investigation, he admits, but now wants to rehabilitate himself. The substance should be offered to the dealers for sale, with the police using the handover for an arrest. Vera agrees. In the end, the dealers can actually be arrested. Heiner lets Atze escape with the money for the drugs, as this is the only way to finance Bibi's withdrawal. Heiner defends his approach to Vera, because the drug money is so well invested. Vera just says that there is really nothing she can do for him now.

criticism

The Süddeutsche Zeitung described little dealers, big dreams as a police call episode, “in which there has been no death for a long time and yet a lot of exciting things happen from the start.” Director Odermatt is “theatrical, fast-paced and funny, and the authors Klaus Peter Wolf and Friedhelm Zündel twist the relationships between good and bad so that the boundaries between police and victim and perpetrator dissolve again and again. "

The Tagesspiegel called the police call a “film that failed out of the purest will to the higher,” with eccentric camera angles; “Everything looked pulled, painfully pulled, and every face from thirty as from a wax museum. Full of testimony, so empty, so seriously only Kintopp ”. "Well occupied is half the battle here," said TV Spielfilm ,on the other hand, and called the police call "realistically staged".
