Do Nina’s colleagues have something to hide? Is there a big story in their professional lives that she has no idea about?

The city of Stralsund’s criminal police have a new boss: Gregor Meyer, who had previously been responsible for internal investigations. While this doesn’t disturb Inspector Nina Petersen, it has an unsettling effect on her colleagues Karl Hidde and Benjamin Lietz. Are they hiding something? Is Meyer checking up on them? The situation gets out of control when Nina and her colleagues are called to site of an attack on an armored car by heavily armed criminals. Two masked men have robbed an armored car and killed one of the security guards. The other guard, Paula, is locked inside the vehicle…

“An exceptionally well-crafted crime thriller, not only because Stralsund, with its harbors and beaches, abandoned army bases and romantic dachas by the sea, is an exceptionally picturesque film location. Christoph Chassee’s camerawork gave the film a cool, elegant look, the timing is perfect and the cast act with astonishing nuance and complexity for a crime story.” – Tages Spiegel

“Cleverly conceived, with a clear temporal sequence, but not without surprises in the details. The actors are functionally cast and perfectly adapt to the ‘system’.” – Tittelbach.tv

“Great visual brilliance, first-class camerawork (Christoph Chassee), excellent actors, suspense from the first to the last second, and numerous plot twists as the characters reveal surprising new sides…” – Evangelisch.de
