Kidnapping thrillers like to lull us into a false sense of security during the first scenes. They show the happy everyday life, the normal rhythm of life, before it is broken. In Unbroken, this is not so. Right at the beginning, the heavily pregnant detective Alex Enders (Aylin Tezel) disappears without a trace. Then she reappears in the darkness, which almost looks like a nightmare landscape. Half naked and covered in blood. She can't remember anything. She only knows that she was kidnapped and that her baby was taken from her. Alex knows only one goal: she wants to find her child. This is the premise of the ZDF Neo series Unbroken, tailored to Aylin Tezel. Those who know earlier films with her will remember that Tezel often presented the subject of pregnancy. Once she got pregnant during a one night stand in a techno club. Unintentionally. In the same way, she became pregnant unintentionally as the daughter of a large family - difficult to convey. As a crime scene investigator, she finally aborted the child. Is it a woman's primal fear of losing her child? This is the basis of the series concept by Andreas Linke and Marc O. Seng. In six chapters, we experience Alex's tour de force. Unbroken relies entirely on the acting skills of Tezel, who has already mastered other difficult roles and physically pushes herself to her limits. What's special about Unbroken is that Alex's personal stroke of fate slowly develops into a gripping thriller. It is amazing that Unbroken, despite its ponderous beginning, does not immediately collapse under its symbolic weight. The subtle question during Alex's research: Certainty can overcome human doubt, when doubt is essential to preserving our humanity. Everything in Unbroken seems gloomy and constricted. A visual concept for people like Alex, who are cut off from the outside world. She has lost her memory and any certainty. Or did it all take place only in her head?
