Overview
- The case centers on Eva Hütter, who loses custody of her five-year-old son Benjamin, abducts him, crashes, and remains in a coma as the child’s location is unclear.
- Commissioner Felix Murot uses a fictional neurofeedback device from his therapist to enter the mother’s subconscious in an effort to find the boy.
- Writer-director Dietrich Brüggemann shifts the Wiesbaden installment toward surreal imagery, theatrical devices, and character study rather than a conventional whodunit.
- Augsburger Allgemeine and Frankfurter Rundschau commend the creativity and visual flair but note tonal inconsistency, clashing styles, and some logical gaps.
- The episode is scheduled on ARD/Das Erste Sunday at 20:15, with a simultaneous stream on ARD Mediathek and additional broadcasts on One.
