In 1999,
Berlin is struck by a mysterious wave of
suicides. While some individuals take their own lives in isolation, others die in ways that cause multiple casualties, creating widespread panic on both sides of the Berlin Wall. Lieutenant Claus Hartman, a West Berlin police officer, becomes personally invested in the case after recalling that his wife took her own life years earlier, shortly after discovering she was pregnant. Hartman begins to suspect that the suicides are not random acts of despair but are instead linked to the work of Dr. Marsfeldt, a scientist believed to be experimenting with mass hypnosis. As Hartman investigates, he discovers that
Marsfeldt is using the image of a young woman to manipulate the public and trigger self-destructive behavior. Hartman's search for the truth draws him deeper into the conspiracy, forcing him to confront both the
psychological manipulation spreading across Berlin and his own personal grief. ==Cast==
