WASHINGTON, March 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- German crime comedy Homicide Hills (Beta Films) brings a big city detective to lead a tiny police force in the most rural of towns.

The police department's two officers - Sergeant Dietmar Schäffer (Bjarne Mädel, Crime Scene Cleaner) and Officer Barbel Schmied (Meike Droste) are more caretakers than overworked sleuths.
