Plots(1)
During a taxi trip home, the ride’s date turns out to be a prat. She unceremoniously chucks him out of the door onto the pavement and announces. “I’d rather have a wank”. Her name is Diana Kowalska, a criminal police officer. During a night out, the already long-drawn evening has yet another surprise in store for her. The morning after, she is back with the murder squad, where the celebration of hilarious and equally incredible one-liners is the daily norm, and crisis meetings are usually held in the toilets. But things have just gotten serious: a killer is on the loose. And he must be caught – whatever the cost. British creator Paul Abbot’s skill at combining the easily digestible with the downright detestable is second to none. (Zurich Film Festival)
