About Derrick - Die Pflicht ruft!
Inspector Stephan Derrick has made it: the crime rate in Munich has fallen to the 0% mark. His prestige is high, and he even has his own elevator with a body-friendly entrance. However, the elimination competitions for the "European Song Contest" force an abortion of his trip to Lapland due to fatalities. The hit king Arno Hello, apparently a parody of Dieter Bohlen and Jürgen Drews, is determined to win the contest...
Directed by Michael Schaack, Derrick - Die Pflicht ruft! leans on a strong ensemble — Horst Tappert, Fritz Wepper, Gustav Peter Wöhler — 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 animation titles of 2004.
