Die Musterknaben
Directed by Ralf Huettner
Produced by ZDF, Neue Deutsche Filmgesellschaft
A buddy-cop comedy about two underdog Cologne police officers who stumble into unexpected success during a stakeout, built on camaraderie and comedic mishap.
Docker and Dretzke are two police officers from Cologne. But the cases here in the precinct don't win them a flower pot at the CID. And so they find themselves at the bottom of the career ladder. When they are assigned by the Düsseldorf State Office of Criminal Investigation to work the night shift on an apartment where drugs are presumably being dealt during the day, they discover more than their Düsseldorf colleagues had planned...
