Bübchen

GER 1968, 87min

A strange case keeps the police and the inhabitants of a small town busy. A little girl has disappeared. There are suspects, innocents, a murderer and a web of lies.

Synopsis

For the parents to attend a company party with the neighbor, their daughter Monika is supposed to look after little Katrin. But the young woman prefers to have fun with her boyfriend and leaves the child in the care of her brother Achim. In the meantime, Achim suffocates the girl with a plastic bag and dumps her body in a nearby junkyard. When the group returns drunk, a feverish search begins for the child who has disappeared without a trace. The nerves of everyone are on edge, and with each passing second of uncertainty, the facade begins to crumble, and beneath the surface of the petit-bourgeois family idyll, human madness emerges.
