what happens at the end of berlin syndrome
Berlin Syndrome (film) At work, Andi hands out his students' workbooks, giving Franka hers. Franka opens it, revealing a Polaroid of a bound Clare that she had hidden for Franka to find. She gasps and excuses herself. As Franka leaves the classroom, the Polaroid falls to the floor and is discovered and passed around by the other students. Andi quickly realises that he has been exposed and leaves in a panic, speeding back to his house. Franka has ridden her bike to the apartment and found Clare, but they have not had time to leave when Andi arrives. They hide, and Clare is finally able to trap Andi in the part of the house where he had kept her, locking him in there. Clare is seen later riding in a cab, putting back on a necklace her mother had given her that Andi had stolen as Andi reclines in the formerly locked room. The film ends with Clare crying happily as she lets her face feel the fresh air from the car window, finally free.
