About Freund oder Feind - Ein Krimi aus Passau
A policewoman from Berlin who testified against an Arab clan boss is starting a new life in Passau with her daughter under a new identity and with the support of witness protection. The policewoman, who until recently was a group leader in the Mobile Task Force (MEK), now calls herself Frederike Bader, her daughter Mia Bader. In Passau, she meets private detective Ferdinand Zankl. In a supermarket, she rescues him from a violent confrontation with a shoplifter.
Directed by Maurice Hübner, Freund oder Feind - Ein Krimi aus Passau leans on a strong ensemble — Marie Leuenberger, Michael Ostrowski, Nadja Sabersky — 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 2020.
