Story
Former East Germany, 1992. Patrick Stein and Markus Bach, two very different police officers, are commissioned to investigate the disappearance of two female teenagers in a remote area of the country. Did they run away from home or did something more terrible happen to them?
Summary
In post-reunification East Germany, detectives Patrick Stein and Markus Bach are tasked with unraveling the mystery behind two teenage sisters' sudden disappearance in a secluded village where secrets run deeper than the local mines. As they delve into the investigation, it becomes clear that everyone has something to hide, including potential evidence of foul play. The tension builds as the detectives strive to separate fact from fiction and determine whether the girls ran away or fell victim to darker forces at work in this seemingly peaceful yet treacherous 'Free Country'.
