Letzte Bootsfahrt

Village policeman Gasperlmaier has a tough time in his third case. He's immediately summoned from a funeral to the bathroom of a family home. There, he finds a dead body. Together with his new superior, the investigation begins. But the first death is followed by a second. More and more pieces of the puzzle are piecing together a grim picture from the past. There's little time left for Gasperlmaier and his new boss, and it seems his mother-in-law is also involved.

Directed by Julian Pölsler, Letzte Bootsfahrt leans on a strong ensemble — Johannes Silberschneider, Aglaia Szyszkowitz, Gerhard Ernst — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2022.
