Police

Berlin, post-Corona. Anton is getting his life off the ground: apprenticeship, his own place with his girlfriend, no drugs, nothing dodgy. But then Anton gets a “yellow letter” in which he’s accused of a serious breach of the peace and resisting arrest. It all happened two years ago and the images come flooding back: the 1st May demo, his arrest. Anton has to get reinvolved in the life he was hoping to put behind him. The naive, good-natured boy feels burning hatred when he realizes he’s not the culprit, but the victim.

Directed by Buket Alakuş, Police leans on a strong ensemble — Levy Rico Arcos, Alexander Hörbe, Petra Schmidt-Schaller — 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 tv movie titles of 2025.
