This thriller does not break new ground. Plotwise there are quite a few things to frown upon. But this is well made and directed. And above all it is a showpiece for two of the best german language acting talents of their respective generations. Justus von Dohnnányi doesn't miss a beat in this duel. The star, of course, is Julia Koschitz, elfin, vulnerable, brilliant and unstoppable. This Austrian/German tv production from 2019 is way above average. Not surprisingly, it reached the number 1 spot after its streaming release on Netflix.de. The story reminds of a german language series that was also numero uno for weeks on Netflix just a few weeks ago, also with Dohnányi. Won't tell you, which one. Don't want to spoil anything. Sad to say, the second case of Julia Koschitz as troubled psychiatrist from 2023 is not as good, as far as I remember (Im Schatten der Angst - Du sollst nicht lügen).
