Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for armchair detectives and anyone with a bit of wanderlust. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Same wavelength as Enola Holmes.
- The mood
- Feel-good.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 1 hr 57 min.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Probably not for a grown-ups-only night in.
At first, friendgroup TKKG have no idea that something is amiss when “Jugend forscht” winner Kevin behaves strangely during the presentation of his “Mind Machine” - they blame his nervousness and his unexpected termination of the speech on relationship stress with his girlfriend Nadine. But when Nadine disappears without a trace shortly afterwards, like three other children before her, the amateur detectives know that they have to help the police with their investigation.
