Die kalte Wahrheit



Franziska Meletzky : 2014
The Cold Truth

On a foggy winter night, a young doctor named Helen Liebermann accidentally runs over and kills 18-year-old Moritz Dombrowski. The criminal investigation against her is quickly dropped but the mysterious circumstances of how Moritz came to be alone on that night keep bothering her, leaving behind many unanswered questions which compel her to pursue. What was Moritz doing in the middle of the night in the freezing cold, ten kilometres from the next town, without a jacket, barefoot and cowering in the middle of the road? Neither her work nor her partner Dirk can give her back the strength and confidence that used to constitute her life. While Helen keeps pushing Dirk away, it is her lawyer, Wagner, who seems to be sharing a similarly tragic past that she confides in and asks for help. Together they reconstruct that fateful night and are confronted with the terrifying truth. Inspired by a real case, Franziska Meletzky's TV feature premiered at Filmfest Hamburg 2014.
