Berlin 1931. A power struggle is taking place in Berlin's underworld. The American gangster Abraham Goldstein is in residence at the Hotel Excelsior. As a favour to the FBI the police put him under surveillance with Detective Gereon Rath on the job. As Rath grows bored and takes on a private case for his seedy pal Johann Marlow he soon finds himself in the middle of a Berlin street war. Meanwhile Rath's on - off girlfriend Charly lets a young woman she is interrogating escape and soon her investigations cross Rath's from the other side. Berlin is a divided city where two worlds are about to collide: the world of the American gangster and the expanding world of Nazism. Kutscher's trick is ingenious. He's created a portrait of an era through the lens of genre fiction. The New York Times
