The protagonists of Christian Petzold’s new feature film, Police Call 110: Wolves, are Münchner police officer Hanns von Meuffels and his Hamburger colleague, heart-throb, Constanze Hermann. Constanze is undergoing treatment for her alcohol addiction in a health and wellbeing center in a Bavarian village. After a night of binge drinking she goes out and sees a wolf. Despite the fact that she thinks that what she saw is a hallucination induced by her excessive alcohol intake, the next morning the corpse of a young woman is found. The face of the corpse is ripped to pieces by a wild animal. Meuffels tries to solve the case with Constanze Hermann. Christian Petzold’s feature film has won recognition for its cracking acting, filming and soundtrack just like the two episodes he previously directed for the TV series of the same title.
