action
A young woman doused a man lying on the ground and herself with fire accelerator . When she lights it and hesitates to light itself, he rears up briefly, but then dies from his burns. The police arrive at the same moment.
It turns out that the man, Olaf Reuter, had imprisoned the now 17-year-old Rebecca from the age of two and systematically “raised” her with violence and psychological tricks to become a slave and sex servant who adored him like a god-like being. Rebecca had thought Reuter was dead, and in which case Reuter had ordered her to burn him, all "educational materials" and herself. Admitted to a psychiatric ward, she opens up very slowly to other people.
In the further course, Rebecca only shows herself ready to talk to the investigating commissioner Kai Perlmann, whom she considers to be her "new educator". Commissioner Klara Blum manages to clarify Rebecca's identity with the help of a small birthmark and to locate her mother. The investigations reveal that Reuter previously held a second girl prisoner whom he murdered because she did not behave according to his ideas. Originally it was Reuter's father Helmut who kidnapped Rebecca, started the "education" and later handed the girl over to his son.
Rebecca, who has just come of age, can finally overcome her bondage and is released from psychiatry.

criticism
Detlef Hartlap , editor-in-chief of prisma , judges that the episode “proves that there is no need for action, not a single shot, and certainly no pyrotechnics,” and is “the ultimate contrast to the two bang-bang- Films by Til Schweiger last weekend “, the consequences of The Great Pain and Purgatory . Hartlap praises, "that is no small thing in a nervous, gimmicky time like this". The episode is about “child abduction, child abuse and the worst personality manipulation”, but “none of this is shown in drastic images, it nests in the mind of the viewer using conventional film language”. “Good films get by with less,” Hartlap sums up, for which the episode with Rebecca as a “female Kaspar Hauser ” is “a lesson”. “How close can an investigator get to a witness” is the central question that the consequence of considering the relationship between Rebecca and Chief Detective Kai Perlmann raises. The resulting dispute between colleagues Blum and Perlmann is "not always played convincingly, Imogen Kogge in particular does not succeed in lending format to her professional authority" and "Eva Mattes also remains unusually dull". Nevertheless, the episode is "a piece of television worth seeing", which is "mainly due to Gro Swantje Kohlhof in the title role". Her play, beginning “as a robot-like polarized child woman” and ending “in a time of slow awakening” with a “glimmer of hope”, is “very touching”. Hartlap also praised the play by Klaus Manchen , "who can venture into abysses", "which we rarely see on television". "To do this, he uses his facial expressions, nothing more," concludes Hartlap, "but it is enough to teach horror".
Christian Schmidt from the Westfälische Nachrichten “convinced the dramatic” episode “because the obligatory murder case quickly faded into the background”. Schmidt praised the "excellent performance of Gro Swantje Kohlhof as a completely disturbed Kampusch variant Rebecca" and "Klaus Manchen as a morally free sex offender Klaus Reuter, whose encounter gave goose bumps". The episode "was also popular because investigator Perlmann was the tormentor to crack the shell of the traumatized title character". The case provided “exciting moments” through the interaction between Gro Swantje Kohlhof and Sebastian Bezzel, which on the one hand “scared” and, on the other hand, “raised the question of how far one could go to help people”.
Oliver Junge wrote for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung : “In scenes without Rebecca, in which the inspectors stare holes in the air or Klara Blum is annoyed or shaken, you know again why the Lake Constance 'crime scene' is one of the drags of the series and its disappearance will hardly be mourned. The tug-of-war for the girl's soul, which touches on fundamental questions of education, is so exciting that it makes up for such moments. "
Holger Gertz wrote for the Süddeutsche Zeitung : “However, Lake Constance tore it out often enough in the Lake Constance crime scene, [...] charismatically tip top. The episode 'Rebecca' by Umut Dag (book: Marco Wiersch), however, breaks with sea habits, it concentrates on the people, and so everything condenses into a drama that is at least more worth seeing than the Konschtanz average. "
Awards
The episode was nominated at the Biberach Film Festival in 2015 in the television films category. When New Faces Award of Bunte was Gro Swantje Kohlhof nominated in the 2016th In the same year she was awarded the Günter Strack Television Prize.
