action
The successful Berlin project developer Karl Brendt is driving his children Josefine and Marius to school when a stranger calls him and tells him that bombs have been installed under the car seats that will explode when the seats are relieved or by remote triggering. He demands a large ransom and threatens to detonate the explosive charges after an ultimatum has expired. If he or the children try to get out, the car will blow up. When a second car, also involved in the action, explodes when the passenger gets out, it becomes clear that the threat is real.
Brendt's still-wife Simone fears that her husband intends to kidnap the children and alerted the police, who are pursuing a large contingent and an explosives expert. The desperate father is now forced to flee from the police in the increasingly scarce time and at the same time to save himself and his children from the blackmailer.

reception
Sascha Westphal writes in epd Film that director Christian Alvart creates "a world that breaks up into two diverging realities": crampedness and hopelessness in the car on the one hand, and isolation staged in "sometimes breathtaking plan sequences " on the other ; Brendt could only perceive the outside world as a threat and an enemy. But Alvart doesn't just focus on action, he also tells of the corruption in the construction industry and thus "of the social and economic upheavals of our time".
Christian Horn attests for programmkino.de that the “expertly staged thriller” is “rock solid genre food”. Some things seem quite implausible , others are badly constructed and the content of the film only becomes interesting in the second third, when more about the main character's business background is revealed. However, with the tension built up “abundantly in a concise manner”, the strengths would be clearly in the staging area. The thriller could "stand up to similar Hollywood productions."
vienna.at praises Wotan Wilke Möhring's impressive performance. It delivers "the moving psychogram of a man in a life crisis".
With its serious subtext of a city in upheaval, the hot real estate market and the contrasts between rich and poor, the film has a wider horizon. The fact that he does not end up in the crude accusation against the supposedly cold-hearted real estate shark Brendt makes the strip an "event worth seeing".
