Inspector Grosz (Franziska Weisz, right) with FINTA activists: politics as a party that ends when the cocaine is broken down

The scenario:
All against all.
After a deadly arson attack on a police officer's home, Falke (Wotan Wilke Möhring) and Grosz (Franziska Weisz) investigate confusing terrain.
An undercover state security officer who infiltrated a group of militant left-wing activists and then apparently switched sides is targeted.
The investigations make it clear how fragmented both the autonomous scene and the police apparatus in Hamburg are: young feminists hit out at old punks, suburban police officers with HSV flags lie in the garden with left-wing St. Pauli investigators.
The highlight:
The thriller begins as a compendium of left-wing activism.
In order to clear up the case, Inspector Grosz goes undercover in a flat share shared by FINTA people.
The acronym stands for "Women, Inter, Nonbinary, Trans and Agender People".
The explanatory passages are often a bit difficult, but as a left-wing self-mutilation scenario, the thriller then develops a certain power.
The picture:
Grosz bares his teeth.
In order not to blow her cover, the investigator rubs coke into her gums at a techno party.
Then: shake up the dance floor, kiss activists, shout left-wing slogans.
The dialogue:
In the popular kitchen of an autonomous center, ex-punk Falke hears an old buddy about the FINTAs at vegan Labskaus.
Inspector: "The 'attack' - do you know anyone there?"
Punk: "Er, not that much to do with them now. There are only FINTAs. So women, lesbians... Sure, also left-wing scene, but a completely different one.«
Inspector: "Yes, but do you know anyone there?"
Punk: »Don't really know. And don't really like either. Oh, you know: I just don't want to be accused of being a sexist after 20 years of activism.«
The song:
»Papa Loves Mambo« by Perry Como.
This upscale mambo standard is on when the activists get into a policeman's bourgeois home in Pinneberg and turn the place upside down.
Otherwise, high punk standards from Slime to Bikini Kill rule musically in this »crime scene«.
The review:
7 out of 10 points.
Sometimes lexical, sometimes infernal: This »crime scene« comes with a punk-for-beginners gesture.
