action
Police chief inspector Elisabeth “Bessie” Eyckhoff determined the origin of the neglected boy Polou in her first case. He has various wounds and calluses on the buttocks - evidence of abuse and a dungeon existence. Eyckhoff and her team guard him on a cleared ward in the hospital and slowly wins his trust.
While Polou is being cared for, a woman in fur clothing - as it turns out later, Polou's mother - is looking for him. She finds out that her son has arrived in Munich on a long-distance bus and is being looked after by Eyckhoff's team. She approaches Eyckhoff's colleague and spends a night with him. She learns of Polou's whereabouts in the clinic through documents on Polou's case that Eykhoff's colleague has at home. Despite being secured by a constantly present police officer, she gains access to the infirmary and tries to kidnap the boy. After an exchange of fire with Eyckhoff, she flees. As it turned out later, she had already shot the driver of the long-distance bus that Polou took to flee.
Polou speaks very incomprehensibly and does not make any understandable statements about his origin or situation. Drawings he makes are difficult to decipher. A psychologist points out that hypnosis might be used to gain deeper insights into Polou's fate. For Eyckhoff, this seems urgent because there are indications that there are other children in a similar dungeon situation. However, a representative of the youth welfare office speaks out against hypnosis. Eyckhoff then investigates the psychologist and blackmailed her consent to hypnosis with the knowledge of her extramarital relationship.
In several sessions, in which only Polou and then Eyckhoff are hypnotized, the policewoman accompanies the boy and thus learns information about the place of his imprisonment, the villa of a German arms dealer in Switzerland. Under hypnosis, Eyckhoff and her colleague and half-brother Cem Halac go to the villa and gain access to the property. Polou's abstract drawings make sense in this context: he has depicted motifs from his captivity. Eyckhoff meets three other, severely neglected children in the villa, including Polou's older brother, who put him on the long-distance bus. When the arms dealer suddenly emerges from the dark, Eyckhoff recognizes him as her father, with whom she apparently shares a traumatizing childhood. Distraught, she hands him her service weapon. Her half-brother Cem was supposed to be waiting for her in the car, but is now brought under control and shot by Polou's mother.
Here her visions break off and Eyckhoff awakens from hypnosis. Still irritated, having only seen everything in a dream, she learns that the Swiss police were able to save two children when they stormed the villa. Polou's older brother had been dead for a few days. Only thanks to Eyckhoff's hypnotic cooperation was it possible for the Swiss colleagues to find the villa quickly enough. You can get the two children to safety before the arms dealer kills himself with an explosive device shortly after the police break in.
Polou suffers a stroke under hypnosis and is treated in the intensive care unit. It is uncertain whether he will wake up from the coma . Polou's mother shoots herself when she learns that the villa has been stormed.

Reviews
“But it's the first film with Verena Altenberger, the long lines are just being laid out, and a lot is still to develop. […] In any case, the first film arouses curiosity to see what happens to this investigator, who fortunately is not infected at all by the current disease called cynicism. There is still something going on. And that is also part of the concept of the experimental developers of the Munich Police Call: to be patient with your own people. "
