action

Emma Stein is a psychiatrist who lives in Berlin with her husband Philipp. After a lecture, the young woman finds a message in her hotel room warning her to flee. She thinks it's a bad joke and ignores the warning. A little later she is raped and her head is shaved. This makes her the third victim of the so-called “hairdresser”. After this traumatic event, Emma no longer leaves the house and continues to withdraw emotionally - until one day the postman Salim asks her to accept a package for a neighbor. As a result, many events break in on the unstable woman and she is drawn into another crime. Towards the end she stabs her husband, whom she takes to be the "hairdresser". During her subsequent stay in a psychiatric hospital, it turns out that her friend Konrad Luft is in fact the "hairdresser".
