Wagner is a cop, a man who doesn't talk much, unlike Zippolt, the guy he has to sit in the car with. Both men are ordered to give close protection to Siegfried, a suspected murderer. Wagner lives in an old fashioned apartment, he counts birds, listens to Richard Wagner's operas, sees a lot, does little, meets a woman, gets entangled - and in the end he loses his countenance. A story about good-wanting and wrong-doing, about relationships and people in contemporary Berlin.
Reviews
Best movie of this year hands down!
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
