content
The police officer Corinna Safranski begins her professional career as a patrol officer at a Hamburg police station. The work-related stress breaks her relationship with her boyfriend.
Her boss, the district manager Eddy Garbitsch, makes massive advances with Corinna; As it turns out, he apparently wants to be intimate with every officer subordinate to him at least once - like a rooster. One of Corinna's colleagues tells her that he wants every colleague to do the same; she herself had "just spread her legs" and he was then satisfied. Corinna, however, rejects the advances, once with a slap in the face. Annoyed by this rejection, Garbitsch starts a bullying campaign, which some of his colleagues join out of the spirit of the corps. Corinna fights against exclusion, denigration and harassment, but the psychological terror continues until Corinna is down, mentally and physically at the end; in addition, she should be dismissed from the employment relationship. Out of desperation over the hell she had already lived through on duty and the pending dismissal, Corinna shoots herself with her service weapon in the washroom of her accommodation.
The film shows a problem of our time with bullying in the company and in particular with the position of a woman in a male domain. Although the film has a fictional character, it is based in part on actual events.
Reviews
"In the main role, intensely played (television) drama about psychological terror in the workplace, which makes life a torture and to which not only women are exposed."
