Die Ratte (1993), directed by Klaus Lemke, is a gritty German crime drama set in Hamburg’s seedy Reeperbahn district. The film follows two brothers: Sven (Thomas Kretschmann), a sleazy small-time crook chasing a big drug deal to reclaim his Porsche, and his naïve younger brother Ricki (Marco Heinz), a supermarket apprentice who idolizes Sven and tags along for a day in the underbelly of the city. The story unfolds over a single day, immersing viewers in a raw, chaotic world of prostitutes, junkies, and hustlers, with a mix of dark humor and grotesque encounters.
