How she looks! Birgit Minichmayr’s face (she plays Andrea) is pure defense. The cross has pressed through her, the corners of her mouth are hanging. Stoneface – just don’t commit. Andrea became a police officer. In the village where she grew up, you have to keep people at bay: former school friends who take traffic tickets personally, and the men with their macho sayings anyway. She pours a glass of beer into the crotch of someone who hits on her particularly stupidly (“I’ve had to give you blowjobs three times anyway, so you can return the favor”). No wonder Andrea wants to leave. Away from the village, whose symbol is a ridiculously phallic oversized garlic bulb in a roundabout. Away from the drunken husband Andy (Thomas Stipsits), whose ambitions don’t extend to St. Pölten. Andrea soon starts there, in the district capital, as a criminal inspector.
