3 BERLIN ONE Action-packed event movie from the award-winning producers of The Lives of Others. Berlin in the roaring 1920 s. A golden age of science, culture and hedonism. But while members of high society are reveling in their affluence, a dark underworld lies beneath. Intimidation and corruption are rife as groups of gangsters plague the city with organized prostitution, drug smuggling, blackmail and robberies. There is only one person who dares wage war on these criminals and that is Chief Inspector Paul Lang of police district Berlin 1. He is relentless in his fight to tackle Berlin s ever-growing circle of organized crime and its king, Immanuel Tauss. And while some investigators are chained to old ways of thinking, war veteran Lang is ahead of his time in using innovative new police techniques. Scarred from his experience of World War I, and having lost his 5-year-old daughter and his wife in a fatal bomb attack, Lang has become a fearless, driven man. But as he takes on Berlin s most dangerous criminals, the fight becomes more personal than he could have ever imagined. Produced by Wiedemann & Berg, the award-winning producers of The Lives of Others, this fast-paced, stylish crime noir thriller stars multi-award winner Tobias Moretti ( Inspector Rex ), Friedrich Mücke ( Friendship! ), Emilia Schüle ( Punk ), Frederick Lau ( Victoria, The Wave ) and Antje Traue ( Man of Steel, Woman in Gold ), and is directed by Marvin Kren ( The Station ).

4 SYNOPSIS 1920 s Berlin is a bustling metropolis. Having just survived the horrors of World War I, people are reveling in a life of expensive parties and lavish entertainment at the grand Varietés. However, alongside the glamour a crime wave has hit the city. Organized criminal gangs are plaguing Berlin and the head of the Berlin 1 police district, Chief Inspector Paul Lang (Friedrich Mücke), is charged with breaking these vicious networks of crime. His close friend, prosecutor Barnekow (Trystan Pütter), is found dead in the crocodile pool of Berlin Zoo. And it seems clear to a detective mastermind like Lang that the murder was the handiwork of his great rival, Immanuel Tauss (Tobias Moretti), the former head of a criminal ring called The Crocodiles. But Tauss is in prison... So how could he have planned such a crime? With the help of his assistant, Conrad Ruppert (Frederick Lau), and his secretary, Masha Kampe (Emilia Schüle), Lang investigates the case. On one Berlin night he finds himself thrown into the world of ruthless social climber, Viktor Parkov (Oliver Masucci), and the fascinating owner of a Varietés club, Irma Berger (Antje Traue).
