From Goethe Institut:
You are invited to the film screening  of “Policewoman” from director Andreas Dresen. Using handheld cameras and filming action in one of the largest police stations in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Andreas Dresen’s film Die Polizistin (Policewoman) achieves a feeling of authenticity and a semi-documentary character. The film, the lead actors Gabriela Maria Schmeide and Axel Prahl, and screenwriter Laila Stieler were honored with the Adolf-Grimme-Prize in 2001.

Synopsis: A 27-year old woman cop from a police school in Berlin moves to a police station in a rough area in the city of Rostock. As she is confronted with dreary police work and entrenched bureaucracy in a social flashpoint, it becomes increasingly difficult for her to separate work and her private life. In her assignments she feels torn between her personal engagement and her professional duties.

Language: German with Vietnamese subtitles.
