The scenario:
Gentrification on the bone-breaking tour: Karow (Mark Waschke) and Rubin (Meret Becker) have to solve the murder of the son of a family company that is currently renovating a property in Wedding and is therefore trying to pull out the old tenants.
At the same time, the commissioner is struggling with the heating in her own apartment, and her landlord obviously wants to put her in front of the door.
Wherever you look in Berlin: everywhere just homeless.
The highlight:
This "crime scene" shows that the roof over your head becomes a precarious matter when an unleashed market determines rental prices.
The crime story was created even before the Federal Constitutional Court took the Berlin rent cap in April.
It shows how resourceful property managers are in circumventing tenant protection laws.
The picture:
An empty white apartment from which a family has just been kicked out.
On the door frame, the centimeter indications are still emblazoned, bearing witness to the growth of the children.
One of many sad glimpses in this "crime scene" into the residential graves and rented tombs of Berlin.
The dialogue.
Inspector Rubin sits in her car at night with a hot coffee and speaks to colleague Karow on the phone.
Rubin: "This is the third time that this shitty heater is up in the ass."
Karow: "Who says it's broken?"
Rubin: "The heater doesn't get warm, so it's broken."
Karow: "Maybe it's a cold dementing."
Rubin: "Don't even paint the devil on the wall."
Karow: "You had a fire in the cellar the other day, too."
Rubin: "Those were some brats who set the fire."
Karow: “Or it was a warm evacuation. The result is the same. "
The song:
»Lovertits« by Peaches.
Rubin is trying to shoot himself away with this electro track and a bottle of red wine in her chilled apartment, when colleague Karow shows up, whom she then immediately forces to a zombie-like number in the door frame.
Even sex does not make the residential parcels in this "crime scene" look warm and housed.
The review:
8 out of 10 points.
Four rooms, kitchen, death: sometimes smooth, sometimes subtle themed thriller about urban warfare in the capital.
