Black Mercedes, The

Czarny Mercedes · dir. Janusz Majewski
Poland 2019, 123’

23 October, 17:30 · Cinema City — room 6

Aneta, the beautiful wife of a respected attorney Karol Holzer, dies in suspicious circumstances. Detective Chief Inspector Rafał Król, an officer of the police force cooperating with the so-called Blue Police under the German occupation, is trying to solve the mysterious murder case. Further leads bring more reasons for suspicion and reveal deeply hidden secrets of the late lady, and also unclear connections of her husband with a highly-ranking SS officer. One of the suspects is a slightly eccentric count Leon Przewiedzki, who has a habit of peeping on people visiting the attorney in his apartment, especially women. In the course of the investigation, Detective Chief Inspector Rafał Król finds an unusual ally in Ernst Kluge, adviser for the German Criminal Police (Kripo). As Holzer finds himself in an increasingly perilous situation, the killer is still at large and may be just a few steps away from committing another crime.
