At this moment in time, you're already facing the big screen and are impatiently waiting to see the movie. Then suddenly the lights turn off and it's pitch black.

The story is set in Berlin, Germany. Some children are playing in a playground and singing about a child murderer. You stop eating popcorn as you feel very uncomfortable about the beginning of the movie. It gets worst when you see Beckert, a serial killer who preys children.

Beckert befriends a little girl, you're very nervous. Then you see the mother who's waiting for her daughter to get back and start calling out for her. All you see is the little girl's ball(with which she was playing) rolling down.

The movie then follows with the police trying to catch the murderer using fingerprinting and other modern techniques. They also have raids. But this is affecting the criminal "businesses" and so they prepare their own manhunt to find Beckert. Later on in the movie, we discover Bekert has been released from a psychatric.

You then see Beckert, you start eating frenetically popcorn and you soon run out. Beckert is trying to control himself using alcohol but finally gives up and befriends another girl. In the first murder, hehad bought the little girl a ballon from a blind man, so this time he did it again, but the blind man alert some criminals, the blind man is able to recognize him due to the distinct tune the murderer whistles. The criminals, to track him write a letter M(M for Mörder which means murderer) on his coat.

At the end Beckert sees as he's being followed and runs to a building. There he's captured by the criminals and put in a kangaroo court. Here he tries to explain that it's hard to be him. That he hear voices, and at the end when he's sentence to death, one of the victim's moms says that no sentence will bring her daughter back, also she says to keep closer watch over your children. Then the screen goes black and in white letters it says "ALL OF YOU"

After finishing watching the movie, you get the message from the movie. That the street aren't as safe as they used to be. You walk out of the cinema, pale and worried. You have a blank expression and you stare at the street. You feel a kind o weird eeling and as you walked through the street, you see sinister figures in the alleys.

You then say out loud to yourself "I need a drink"
