The Sunday thriller season starts after the summer break with “Police call 110: You belong to me” from Magdeburg. Is it worth turning on?
What is “Police call 110: You belong to me” about?
When Lana Stokowsky (Hannah Schiller, 23) lets her baby out of her sight in a stroller in a busy pedestrian zone in Magdeburg, the stroller and child disappear without a trace. Panicked, Lana turns to bystanders, but no one claims to have seen anything. Chief Inspector Brasch, who is about to say goodbye to her boss, Kriminalrat Uwe Lemp (Vörtler), is called to the scene of the crime.
On the way to the taxi, Lemp helps his neighbor Inga Werner (Franziska Hartmann, 39) carry the pram to her apartment. There, however, he is knocked down, faints and from then on is in the power of his neighbor.
Meanwhile, Brasch tries to find the kidnapped baby. Mother Lana suspects her ex-affair Christian Novak (Max Hemmersdorfer, 37), who stalked her to the end. But Chris denies all allegations and even claims to be the actual stalking victim. So statement stands against statement. When Brasch finds out that Lemp, of all people, made the threat speech in Lana’s stalking case, she realizes that he, too, has disappeared without a trace…
Is it worth turning on?
Yes. Regarding the missing baby, it’s not a whodunit mystery because viewers know who has it from the start. The situation is different with the story within the story: the stalking allegation is first of all testimony against testimony and here you can certainly think about who is lying on the couch at home.
Ultimately, this exciting film joins those relationship tragedies of the Sunday crime series that could probably have been prevented if people in an exceptional emotional and mental situation – also when it came to caring for relatives – would seek help and then get it. This is perhaps especially true for those who endure everything for a long time without complaint.
A small drawback: Can someone please turn on the light – one would like to call out to the makers in many scenes, because the crime thriller takes place in a fairly dark apartment for long stretches. In any case, both she and the leading actress in the episode, Franziska Hartmann, will be remembered.
