When the uncle's mother was cleaning the basement, she could smell a strange smell on her face, so she searched for the source of the smell and opened the door.
The TV news in the film said that more than 1,000 children go missing in Germany every year, which is quite terrifying compared to Germany, which has a population of only tens of millions. This clip is to attract social attention, this is no longer an accident, it is a serious social problem. Why there are so many pedophiles in German society, I don't know how psychology and sociology explain this phenomenon.
The film mainly focuses on three points, one of which is that the life of the perverted uncle is no different from that of a normal person, that is to say, it is impossible to judge whether a person is a pedophile in terms of appearance and behavioral habits.
Second: It describes that the little boy has a vague understanding of being sexually assaulted in captivity, and has no sense of self-help (during this period, he went out with his uncle, but did not escape), and it is obvious that the school and parents lack education in this regard. He splashed him with boiling water in the wrong way, which would only irritate the perpetrator (the final, perverted and dramatic accidental death is not discussed) and put himself in danger.
Third: The victim is a young child, and their minds are immature. Once the child develops a sense of attachment and identity to the perpetrator, his hope of being rescued is even slimmer.
The director wants to use this film to wake up the entire German society. Paedophilia is abhorrent, but perverts may be as normal as the uncle and you in the film, you don't know who will be watching your children; secondly, school parents should also educate children on prevention and teach them how to properly save themselves and deal with them; finally Pedophilia is already a social phenomenon. How to prevent "illness" and the root cause is something that the entire German society should pay attention to.
Above, I think this is what the director wants to convey to the audience.
ps: The theme of this film is very heavy. Why does the ending song use such a cheerful song as Sunny? Could it be that what the director wants to express is different from what I understand?
