"Sometimes," says the woman, with whom you might prefer not to be stranded on a lonely island, "it goes so quickly in my head."

She doesn't know what to do with herself.

With her fingers, which she is constantly knotting in herself, with the energy that prevents her from sleeping, with her sexuality, which wanders around like the lightning bolts in her brain.

The fact that everything goes so quickly in Imke's head, says Julia Grosz, the inspector, who likes to watch her do it, is what makes her so attractive.

Imke is definitely too much for the island she lives on.

It is currently being winterized.

Signs are hung in the boutiques saying “Goodbye at Easter 2021”, autumn leaves are lying around dead, people are wearing thick sweaters, and people are drinking tea.

Having the ingredients for a Pharisee on hand (cream, rum, sugar cubes, coffee) wouldn't be a bad idea.

“Deadly Flood” - the eighth case for Falke and Grosz - is an uncomfortable film in which trepidation is the order of the day.

You need a certain homeliness at home.

Something's going on between the three: Imke (Franziska Hartmann) and the commissioners (Franziska Weisz and Wotan Wilke Möhring)

Actually, everything is the same as always when commissioners from the big, big city are washed ashore.

The commissioners are strangers, the people are like walls, and the landscape doesn't care.

Falcon is attacked by Imke in Hamburg.

She feels threatened, persecuted.

She senses an international real estate scandal at home on the island on which she grew up.

Norderney.

Somehow she gets Falke to follow her, just as she gets everyone to follow her if she wants to.

Monopoly on Norderney

Imke has been to Sudan and Afghanistan, is an investigative journalist, a reporter who does not care about borders, unfortunately increasingly also not about those between madness and reality.

A Monopoly is going on on Norderney, she says, and that's true.

Concrete cubes are paved in the dunes.

The island camarilla sticks together.

They all have something from the boom (except for the old Norderneyer who are driven to the mainland because they can no longer afford all of this).

And then one of them is dead.

Franziska Hartmann is an imkeeper.

And she'll kill you.

You want to shake it, want to get rid of it, but you can't.

There is only something bigger than them, apart from the wonderfully symphonic horror score.

The landscape.

The trees.

The light.

The waves.

The Wadden.

None of it is as wallpapered as the mountains at the "Bergdoktor" are.

Everything has size and strangeness and beauty.

You want to go immediately.

If necessary to die.

Or to meet Imke.
