Three baby corpses are discovered in the basement of the house in a rural village that has just been bought by the doctor Benjamin Ludwig and his friend Matthias. The bodies have been there for years and it is quite a task for inspector Marion Reiter and local police officer Ulli Herzog to provide any explanation to the mystery.
Four is a detective film without appealing suspects. After all, the crimes were committed a long time ago and suspects are not immediately available. That fact adds to the magnitude of the mystery but doesn't add to the suspense. In fact, this makes the film an incredibly boring detective story that also features boring sidesteps.
The detective work is constantly interrupted by village issues. For example, the film spends quite some time on the homosexuality of Benjamin and Matthias in relation to the confessional beliefs of the villagers. The private problems of Ulli and her husband are also extensively discussed. Both plots are not very interesting and have little to do with the case of the baby corpses. The extended outings prevent tension from building up and are a complete waste of time.
In addition, if the progress of the case is not interesting, there is little left that is worth watching. Fortunately, the film does have a few beautiful shots to offer and the makers also manage to create a quite gloomy atmosphere. But yes, that story. It is so elaborately constructed that it is difficult to maintain attention. And then there's the final unraveling where things come together. The ending of the film is simply laughable. Four is a really bad movie.
