The series revolves around Lena, who lives in complete isolation with her two children, Hannah and Jonathan, in a high-security house. Their lives are meticulously regimented, from mealtime to bedtime, and they obediently follow every command. However, everything changes when Lena manages to escape after a near-fatal car accident, accompanied by her daughter Hannah.

What sets Dear Child apart is that it begins where traditional thrillers end, with a focus on redemption. Lena's parents, who have been desperately searching for their missing daughter for nearly 13 years, arrive at the hospital on the same night Lena is admitted. The mystery deepens, and the nightmare unravels.

Dear Child was created by head writer Isabel Kleefeld, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Julian Pörksen. Both Kleefeld and Pörksen took on the challenging task of co-directing this psychological thriller. The series was produced by Tom Spiess and Friederich Oetker, with Constantin Television as the production company.

With its powerful cast and a narrative that blends suspense, drama, and heartwarming moments, the show is poised to captivate audiences with its intimate portrayal of life's most profound challenges.


The Plot Unveiled

The plot of the series begins with the escape of a mysterious woman who has been held hostage for a long time. Her hasty escape puts in motion a chain of events that reveals a 13-year-old mystery. The unexpected disappearance of a young kid had shaken the town, leaving a confusing unresolved riddle.

Now, the woman's escape piques the interest of investigators, prompting a fresh look at this cold case. As they delve deeper into her story, they unearth a connection that ties her to the long-missing person from the past.
