action

16-year-old Larissa Böhler is pregnant and protests that she has not had sexual intercourse. In her desperation, she wants to throw herself from the city ​​bridge that connects Frankfurt (Oder) and Słubice into the Oder . The deeply religious Jonas Fleischauer, who thinks he is the prophet Elias , convinces her not to jump. He claims that Larissa's child is a special, chosen person.

A week later, Larissa is in a Frankfurt hospital and expects an abortion with embryopathic indication due to her exceptional psychological situation and the prognosis that the child will be seriously disabled with the diagnosis of trisomy-18 . The chief doctor had recently been denounced as the 'murderer of the Messiah' in a Polish newspaper.

Fleischauer sneaks into the operating room and performs a caesarean section on Larissa , which he records with his smartphone. He puts the child in Larissa’s arms, presses the emergency button and escapes. Contrary to the prenatal examinations, the child is completely healthy, but Larissa succumbs to the consequences of the improperly performed caesarean section, without Fleischauer's intention to do so. A mole behind the child's ear is striking: this feature appeared to Jonas Fleischauer in a dream .

Böhler's parents make serious accusations about Larissa's fate. They are also attacked for alleged child murder: In the stairwell of their apartment, insults are smeared on the walls. When they and Larissa lose their only child, the father injures himself and is placed in a psychiatric ward for his own protection. The mother takes her own life out of desperation.

Fleischauer puts a video of his gruesome act online, in which he declares the newborn to be the 'last gift of God', and flees to his mother in Słubice. Lenski and Raczek are looking for the young man across borders for serious bodily harm resulting in death. When Fleischauer's mother learns of her son's deed, she turns to her priest with the request to carry out another exorcism with him . Jonas Fleischauer, who does not yet know anything about Larissa's death, rejects the exorcistic rites of the priest and sees himself completely as a person commissioned by God with the name of the biblical Elijah, because Fleischauer's father, who lives in Berlin, was ill and claimed to be cured by his son to have become. Apparently this promoted Fleischauer's religious madness. In the course of the plot it becomes apparent that, at the insistence of his mother, Fleischauer had to visit the priest several times a week for years, which left its mark on the boy's psyche.

Raczek also looks after his mother from Poland, who has colon cancer , who contacts him for the first time in five years and visits him in his new, still completely unrenovated apartment after separating from his wife. The mother is ambivalent about an operation: She is difficult to convince her son to do, trusts more in miracle healing and fixes her fate to a divine will.

Fleischauer can finally be arrested in the pathology department of the hospital after he snuck in there to resuscitate Larissa's corpse 'with God's help' (ultimately unsuccessful). In pre-trial detention, he rejects the public defender. He gives Raczek detailed information about the motives for his act and admits his guilt for Larissa's death. While Raczek is open-minded, Lenski is outraged by Raczek's approach.

In the remand prison, Fleischauer, whose deed is also known there, is mocked as a miracle healer, badly mistreated and beaten up. He is transferred to the infirmary, where he meets the punk girl Sammy Fauler, who stabbed and burned her brother while on drugs. She was also injured in a brawl with fellow inmates in prison and she too has a birthmark that resembles that of the baby, Larissa's son. Jonas Fleischauer sneaks into her cell, points out her supposed spiritual quality and hugs her. But Sammy Fauler uses her chance to escape from prison and unceremoniously takes Fleischauer hostage.

Raczek learns of the hostage situation on the way to the clinic where his mother is to be operated on. The mother urges Raczek to take her to the scene of the crime because she is convinced that Fleischauer can cure her cancer.

During the de-escalation-oriented negotiation with the hostage-taker, who demands a getaway car, Raczek's mother, Fleischauer, approaches, from whom she expects a cure. Sammy Fauler suddenly lets go of Fleischauer and brings Raczek's mother into her power. In fear for his mother, Raczek puts down his gun, with which the hostage taker Fleischauer, who is pointing the gun at himself, unintentionally shoots during a scramble. She is then overwhelmed. Fleischauer, apparently tired of life through his guilt for Larissa's death, thanks him as he dies and tells Lenski that the world is full of love.

Reviews

“Sure, there are always miracles. But this "police call" has too much of it in the plot. [...] Even the current "police call" is most consistent when the filmmakers dare to stick to the main character's logic; when, for a few risky moments, we think we see a Savior in the zealot. The film actually has a couple of those disturbing what-if moments. "

- Christian Buß : The mirror

The film service awarded one of five possible stars and criticized: “Confused and completely unbelievable (TV) crime thriller, which strains patience with coarse overdrawings and superfluous duplications. Dealing with belief and doubt fails, as does engaging with fundamentalist currents in Poland. "

RP-online reviews that the crime thriller is tough and gloomy, stunned, concerned and also makes you angry again and again. At the same time, the episode is puzzling because not all the details are cleared up at the end.
