action
The psychotherapist Maximilian Bloch has since moved to Baden-Baden to live with his new love, Clara Born. However, since he needs a certain distance, he has created a refuge in the garden house of the property in order to be undisturbed there if necessary.
In the park, Bloch meets a girl who dances singing in the rain and introduces herself to him as Laura, 13 years old. She persuades Bloch to sing a canon with her, because you need two to do that. Since Laura tells him that she got lost, he takes her to the police station. The girl is not a stranger there, she has run away several times from a home in which she is housed. When Bloch is already leaving, Laura lifts her short skirt and says: “Would you like to have a look, Uncle Ludwig. If you want, I'll stay with you tonight. "
Bloch does not leave the girl's fate in peace, so he goes to the home. There the director tells him that Laura is in her early twenties, was picked up 10 years ago in the drug environment and has lived in the home since she was withdrawn from drugs. At that time, her ability to remember practically stopped, and since then she has held on to the fact that she was 13 years old. However, the doctor makes it clear to him that he is not wanted. But when Laura seriously threatens her roommate Ginny, they call for Bloch. He takes Laura home with him against the will of the home management at his own risk - also to save her from the closed ward .
When Bloch's daughter Leonie visits him, he says he could use her help. It's about a girl who must have experienced something absolutely terrible in the past. Together with Leonie he drives to a village in Alsace where Leonie has found a street named Winterhalde called Winterhalde. Via the local postman there, Leonie arrives at the address of a Ludwig Schulze. This tells straight away that Laura was his eye star. A woman named Doris Lehmann, Laura's sister, behaves strangely, as Schulze relates. Under no circumstances should she know that Laura was still alive, otherwise she would kill her. Bloch and his daughter learn that Laura's other family members are dead. Leonie says you should confront Laura with her sister and wait to see what happens then. Bloch replies whether she has never heard of the "Kimberley Case" and why he is actually letting her study.
Bloch later tells Clara that he is afraid that Laura could become a second "Kimberley case". In the young woman, all body functions collapsed the moment she remembered. Nevertheless, the therapist decides to take Laura to the village of her childhood. When Laura discovers the Winterhalde road sign there, she is completely beside herself and begs Bloch to take her away from there. He brings the girl near Ludwig's house, which is right on the railroad tracks. Laura recognizes it again and calls out “Uncle Ludwig! Do you want to have a look, Uncle Ludwig? ”As if in a trance, Laura tells that Uncle Ludwig always invited the men who then let them look. Then he went around with his hat on, collected money and bought fabric for it. One day her father came and she killed him. Laura suddenly collapses after these words. She is brought to the clinic in the ambulance, her body functions collapsing the moment the memory was back.
Bloch finds no peace and goes back to Doris Lehmann's and pleads with her to talk to him - he would like to understand what really happened back then. Doris says that her mother had a fatal accident with the car, Laura was also in the car, but didn't even get a scratch. Her father then only took care of Laura, she cleaned and cooked, made and did, but her father left her by the wayside. He always only loved Laura, he didn't care at all. Everyone knew what was going on every Saturday in Uncle Ludwig's hut, everyone, except her father didn't know that his “darling” had undressed there. Even her uncle went there sometimes. She then sent her father there. He should have seen how sly Laura had it behind the ears. She then watched him and imagined that he would despise Laura and be grateful to her for telling him the truth. It turned out differently. Her father had beaten everything in the hut, beat his brother to death and crippled Uncle Ludwig, and then he ran to the tracks and lay down in front of her and Laura's eyes in front of the train. Bloch brings Doris to come to the clinic where Laura is lying unconscious. There she whispers to her sister: “It's not your fault, you didn't kill your papa.” Laura wakes up again, but according to her doctor she will always be a 13-year-old child. She now calls herself “little darling”.

criticism
TV Spielfilm awarded two out of three possible points and the best possible rating, the thumbs pointing upwards, for the film, and wrote: “The third 'Bloch': the complex, detective trauma search quietly builds up strong tension.” Conclusion : "The tension comes here quietly".
Prisma said, "As in the first two cases of the psychotherapist Bloch, director Christoph Stark [...] also relies on a differentiated story and strong actors in this psychodrama". “Julia Jentsch with her reserved, mysterious game” is “brilliant”.
tpg from Kino.de pointed out that psychologists would “pull their hair out”, but “who cares”, even if Dieter Pfaff as Maximilian “Bloch actually does not match the image that one generally sees from psychotherapists” would correspond. Of course, one wants to "know what event once brought Laura out of her mind". In this respect, 'Tausendschönchen' also has "elements of a crime novel". "But more fascinating" is the interaction between the actors, especially since Dieter Pfaff always seems to get the best out of his partners. The young Julia Jentsch, for example, is "splendid as a nightmare who constantly balances on a fine line between madness and reality". “Simply grandiose” is “again Dieter Pfaff, who lives out the richness of the figure with all his heart”.
The film service page read: "Intensive (television) drama about the therapist Bloch, who may violate some professional rules, but precisely because of this he gains human sympathy values."
Der Spiegel dubbed Bloch a "wonderful and whimsical psychotherapist" and wrote that "the morbid charm of the health resort" Baden-Baden is good for the "rather quiet stories" that are "visible as beneficial exceptions to the noisy TV business". It was also said that director Stark had “touchingly staged Bloch's first chance encounters with Julia Jentsch's gorgeous 'madman' like a fragile love story”.
