Overview
- Das Erste schedules the Dresden-set episode for 20:15 on New Year's Day.
- Amanda, bloodied and disoriented, tells police she grew up locked in a cellar and says her sister Jana remains imprisoned without food.
- Kommissarin Leonie Winkler pushes to investigate the account despite skepticism from her superior Peter Michael Schnabel and a youth psychiatrist.
- The case unfolds across multiple narrative strands with ambiguous cellar scenes that keep investigators and viewers uncertain for much of the film.
- Reviews note resonances with notorious captivity cases yet a different outcome, emphasize themes of trauma and 'prepper' paranoia, and single out performances by Emilie Neumeister and Cornelia Gröschel.
