The Rostock "police call" in the quick check as Rostock police call quick check businessman crash. Rostock has the blues: The "police call" investigators chase a dubious businessman through crash bars and demolition houses. Atmospheric twilight thriller.

The scenario:

On the run from the past. The dubious businessman Michael Norden pulls out after a man has been murdered in his villa. During the persecution, Bukow (Charly Hübner) and König (Anneke Kim Sarnau) reveal the image of a man who made it from a drug wreck to a business star. He currently runs the largest temporary agency in Rostock. But junkie friends from the dark youth, a possible son from a broken earlier relationship, nefarious business partners from the early days - they all haunt the fugitive like ghosts of the past.

The highlight:

The suspect's personality is cleverly kept vague. On night tours on the suspect's heels, the investigators collect clues without really penetrating the confusing family and business relationships. The twilight as a basic mood.

The picture:

Investigator-Poser Pöschel (Andreas Guenther) holds a food storage bag with bundles of Hunnis in the sun. The Lederjackenfatzke says to his colleague: "Yes, I cashed in my girls yesterday. 50,000!"

The dialogue:

Investigators are standing in front of the suspect's mansion who took tear.

Bukow: "The house belongs to Michael Norden."

King: "Do you know him?"

Bukow: "Yes, who rents the people out. Temporary work. Who always has such a nice game by his side. Don't you read a newspaper?"

King: "At least no gossip. But you? Really now?"

Bukow: "Yes, only that."

The song:

"Sign of the Judgment" by Cassandra Wilson. The song runs while the antihero shows off his drug addiction in a dilapidated bar. Rostock has the blues.

The review:

7 out of 10 points. Out of the past: neo-noir thriller about a man who tries in vain to shake off his past. Atmospheric tight, but with a somewhat abrupt final chord.

The Maas key

Heiko Maas wanted to sell the result of the Libya conference as a success for "Anne Will". The round didn't like to buy it completely.

The countries involved in the civil war have committed themselves to upholding the arms embargo and ending military support for the conflicting parties in Libya. This is the official result of the conference in Berlin. Everyone involved agreed that this explanation can only be a start. Negotiations continued with "Anne Will" in a more intimate round.

The key: Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas, fresh from the negotiating table, considers "the real aim of this conference" to be achieved. Accordingly, all those who have so far zealously broken the embargo that has been in force - and never implemented - since 2011 have now agreed to comply. In view of the concentrated skepticism in the group, he can't get away with this, saving himself in the metaphor: "We got the key today" to resolve the conflict: "We have to put the key in the lock and turn it over."

The door: Wolfram Lacher, expert on Libyan affairs, does not believe in the Maas key. In addition, two nations braced the door from the inside: "The role that Turkey and Russia have acquired in recent months is a reaction to the absence of any European and Western policies to deal with this conflict."

Christoph von Marschall from the "Tagesspiegel" agrees with a reference to geopolitical aspects. There is no policy whatsoever against Libya and Turkey in the meantime, they have "a foot in the door" there now. The journalist would be satisfied if "a little less" weapons were delivered.

The flaw: Sevin Dagdelen criticized from the left that the two Libyan war parties had not been at the table. That was a "flaw". Maas instructs the colleague that Prime Minister Sarradsch and his opponent Haftar understandably did not want to talk to each other directly. The tactic was: "We first withdraw your support and then we force you to negotiate."

The language: The Foreign Minister's choice of words gave a little insight into the high and slightly oily art of diplomacy. He did not call Chalifa Haftar, who was supported by Russia, among others, "warlord", not even "general". But "Field Marshal". So much respect is obviously required if you want to get the key in the lock. It may be that the field marshal, who already controls large parts of the country, will soon own the entire apartment.

Die Zeit: Certainly the European side should have intervened earlier in the civil war. "Everything too late," admits Maas, "I would never deny that," but the lost time is now "to be made up for as quickly as possible". Hanan Salah of "Human Rights Watch" can only agree: "The negotiations can take 10, 15, 20 years." And that would be a little tough, diplomatically speaking.

Oil: In addition to geopolitical and ideological interests, there are also economic interests in Libya. It is up to Dagdelen to point out that it is a "proxy war for the oil companies" - hence the competing positions within the EU. Here von Marshal contradicts and explains that oil companies loved stable conditions and by no means waged war there. Rather, they are "large countries with interests". It should have happened in history that these interests were of an economic nature.

The problem: Dagdelen does criticize that "one only thinks in military categories" when it comes to pacifying a conflict arising from "military logic". But even in military logic, war cannot be waged without weapons. So how is the embargo, so far hardly dried ink on an agreement, to be enforced?

Christoph von Marschall wants to know that too. And: "How do you say it," do you want to get the Turks and Russians to leave the country? Maas wants to "talk", this must now be clarified with various organizations and nations, including the African Union.

The consequence: Marshal is not enough. According to military logic, surveillance of sea routes and airspace with EU support is required, not to mention the southern border of the desert-rich desert realm. How can this be done without getting in the way of Russian militias, for example? Maas insists on this question - in contrast to the EU foreign policy representative Josep Borrell and also the much more enthusiastic defense minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer - on restraint.

It is quite possible that the people of Libya still have to be patient a little. And with it the penned-up migrants in the appalling local camps.
