Dear Child
Dear Child
A young woman flees a windowless cabin in the woods with a little girl and is hit by a car while escaping. At first, investigators suspect she might be Lena Beck, who has been missing for thirteen years. But the truth is far more disturbing than anyone imagines. The six-part psychological thriller, based on Romy Hausmann’s bestseller, became one of the most internationally successful German Netflix series.
