The scenario:
Binge drinking and class struggle around Rostock's Docklands: The Arunia shipyard is about to liquidate because it does not generate enough returns for investors.
Cafeteria worker Sabine (Luise Heyer), who works as a top-up at the shipyard, starts arming after a day of humiliation.
Bukow (Charly Hübner) and König (Anneke Kim Sarnau) still have a bad hangover from the booze they held in honor of Bukow's recently deceased father.
With thick skulls they count the corpses that Sabine leaves behind on her vengeance campaign.
The highlight:
Compassion for a murderess.
»Sabine«, the beautiful title of this »police call«, is a highly ambivalent affair, because the audience is rigorously forced into the perspective of the perpetrator.
She does her bloody deeds not in the affect, but in order to experience satisfaction.
Abel Ferrara's self-empowerment classic "The Woman with the 45 Magnum" from 1981 sends his regards.
A brilliant achievement by Heyer, who previously showed in the role of a porn actress in Munich's »Tatort« how to confidently complete risky episode roles in risky Sunday thrillers.

The picture:
The glow in Sabine's eyes after her first murder.
How happy the humiliated woman suddenly looks!
The dialogue:
The team of investigators is puzzling over how it could track down Sabine, who is in hiding.
Bukow: "Where do we find them?"
King: “No chance. Sabine is not a gunman, she is a serial killer. That means it doesn't kill at will, it kills according to its own system. "
Bukow: "Anyone who is an asshole to them must die."
The song:
"Without you" from the freedom of Munich.
"To you, Vadder," says Bukow at the drinking party in honor of the dead and holds up his arm with the shot glass while this high-revving classic is playing out of the boxes.
Then Bukow and König dance as if they were the last people in the world.
Discofox on the verge of delirium.
The review:
10 out of 10 points.
Longing at the limit of pain, criticism of capitalism with a punch: the Rostock "police call" is more radical than ever and is reminiscent of the Duisburg class struggle "crime scenes" from the eighties with Götz George as Schimanski.
Best medicine for corona lethargy.
