The Poll Diaries (2010) follows the journey of thirteen-year-old Oda Schaefer (Beer), who departs from Berlin in the summer of 1914 to reunite with her family and a diverse group of German and Russian aristocrats at an estate in Estonia. The Schaefer family's residence is a striking, neoclassical manor that stands on stilts above the sea, serving as a significant character in the narrative. Oda arrives with her mother's coffin and a peculiar gift for her surgeon father, Ebbo Schaefer (Selge): a jarred, two-headed fetus intended for his collection of macabre curiosities. Ebbo sees a reflection of himself in Oda when she calmly and skillfully learns to suture a cat's corpse. However, he overlooks the crucial difference between them—his obsession with power and destruction, contrasted with Oda's genuine curiosity about life and her clear understanding of morality.
