Hennicke A gripping thriller on a hot-button issue. Germany in the not-too-distant future: the borders are closed, refugees live in camps and are turned away or accepted. A police detachment is responsible for keeping the crowd in check. One of the cops, Volt, accidentally kills a refugee. The violence spirals out of control. Volt starts up a relationship with the sister of the man he killed and winds up between the fronts. "(…) an adrenaline rush of a film, one which adeptly references both the aesthetic and the cool one-liners of American and French cop films."
