The place from which the clouds come – Wikipedia

The place from which the clouds come is a television film from the crime series Police call 110 . The contribution produced by Bavarian Radio is the 379th episode of the Police call 110 And was broadcast on September 15, 2019 in the first. It is the first case of the investigator Elisabeth Eyckhoff, which Matthias Brandt (alias Hanns von Meuffels) follows as an investigator.

In her first case, police chief commissioner Elisabeth “Bessie” Eyckhoff investigates the origin of the neglected young Polou. The approximately 14–15-year-old has wounds and cornea on the buttocks-indications of abuse and a stay as a prisoner. Eyckhoff guards him with her team at a cleared station in the hospital and slowly wins his trust.

While Polou is being cared for, a woman in fur clothes – as later shows, is looking for Polous – in search of him. She finds out that her son has arrived in Munich with a long -distance bus and is looked after by Eyckhoff’s team. She approaches Eyckhoff’s colleagues and, as he later confesses, spends one night with him. Through documents about Polous that this has at home, she learns Polou’s whereabouts in the clinic. Despite the securing by a constantly present police officer, she gives herself access to the infirmary and tries to kidnap the boy. After a change of shooting with Eyckhoff, she flees. As it turned out later, she had already shot the bus driver of the long -distance bus with which Polou had fled.

Polou speaks very incomprehensible and does not make any understandable statements about his origin or situation. Drawings that he made are difficult to decipher. A psychologist points out that it might be possible to gain deeper knowledge about Polous fate using hypnosis. This seems urgent for Eyckhoff because there are signs that there are other children in a similar dungeon situation. However, the representative of the youth welfare office strictly speaks against hypnosis; She even threatens to have Eyckhoff put back into patrol service. Eyckhoff then investigates the civil servant and blackmailed her with the knowledge of an extramarital relationship to give her consent to hypnosis.

In several sessions, in which only Polou, then also Eyckhoff are hypnotized, the policewoman accompanies the boy and thus finds out the villa of a German arms dealer in Switzerland. In hypnosis, Eyckhoff, together with her colleague and half -brother Cem Halac, visits the villa and gains access. Polous abstract drawings now make sense: they are motifs from his captivity. The film title The place from which the clouds come Explained by a partially glued window in the villa drawn by Polou. Eyckhoff meets three other, strongly neglected children in the villa, including Polous older brother, who had put it on the long -distance bus. When the arms dealer suddenly steps out of the dark, Eyckhoff recognizes her father in him, with whom she apparently also connects a traumatizing childhood. She gives him – still under hypnosis – disturbed her weapon. Her half -brother Cem should wait for her in the car, but is shot by Polou’s mother.

Her visions break off here and Eyckhoff wakes up from hypnosis. Still irritated to have experienced everything in hypnosis, she learns that the Swiss police were able to save two children when the villa stormed. Polous older brother has been dead for a few days. Only through Eyckhoff’s hypnotic work was it possible for Swiss colleagues to find the villa quickly enough. You can bring the two children to safety before the gun dealer kills themselves with an explosive device shortly after the police entered. It becomes clear that Polou’s grandfather was also his father (and also the other three children).

Polou suffers a stroke in hypnosis, falls into a coma and is treated in the intensive care unit. Although he blinks, it remains open whether he will wake up from the coma again. Polou’s mother shoots herself as she experiences the storming of the villa in the radion news.

The film was shot from February 26 to March 28, 2019 in Munich and the surrounding area. ^{[2] [3]} The premiere was on August 24, 2019 as part of the festival of German film. ^[4]
