Die Polizistin is a documentary by Andreas Dresen about the life of a young police woman who is faced with the difficulties between her responsibilities at work and her personal responsibilities.

As a result of a breakup, a woman tries to break out of her everyday life by embarking on the search for her old self that she was before the relationship. With her former best friend from her youth, she heads to her hometown by the sea to find a time capsule that the two of them buried many years ago and must face the reality that they are no longer the people they used to be.
