Facial expression

Don't be afraid! Except of yourself. Sebastian Fitzek's outstanding psychological thriller revolves around a facial expression expert who can no longer trust herself in her greatest time of need. A tiny twitch at the corner of the mouth and the slightest change in the pupil are enough to read a person's true self: Hannah Herbst is Germany's most experienced facial expression expert, specializing in the secret signals of the human body. As a consultant for the police, she has already helped convict numerous violent criminals.

However, just as she is struggling with the aftermath of memory loss following an operation, she is confronted with the most horrific case of her career: A previously completely upstanding woman has confessed to brutally murdering her family. Only her young son Paul has survived. After her confession, the mother manages to escape from prison. Is she searching for her son to complete her deadly mission? Hannah Herbst has only the brief confession video to identify the mother and save Paul. The problem: The murderer in the video is Hannah herself! Her only way out leads deep into her own psyche, with professional guidance from Dirk Eilert, the leading expert in facial expressions and body language in the German-speaking world.
