The architect and site manager Greta M. is a single 40-year-old mother of a 12-year-old boy who recently lost her job in the architectural office. She is in debt and applies to a call center . Your son finds this type of work inappropriate and becomes insubordinate. In the call center she is released after a short time because she has too much understanding for the disinterest of the customers and because of this she cannot sell any prefabricated houses. Greta succumbs to alcohol and the contact with her son breaks off more and more. She loses her position in her life and drifts from one platitude to the next. She tries to swim against the current of social norms and to live out her creativity. On this trip in Berlin she meets the "city of women".

reception

Silvia Hallensleben wrote for the German film magazine epd Film : "As an attempt to find an appropriate cinematic form for the current state of being and consciousness of the academic precariat, ONE FLEXIBLE WOMAN is one of the most interesting approaches of recent times."

Isabel Pluta said in the Internet portal Filmreporter, "Tatjana Turanskyj wants to show a picture of time and society with her experimental film " and "In her film, the director allows her views on the current working conditions in Germany to flow."

Kirsten Riesselmann commented in the taz , “Tatjana Turanskyi's (born 1966) feature film debut is an exercise in laconically portrayed bitterness that illuminates the specific risks of precariousness of women and also throws a spotlight on the aesthetically and socially questionable urban development tendencies in Berlin . "

Maike Mia Höhne, curator of the Berlinale Shorts, said in an interview with EDITION F, "Tatjana Turanskyj made the most important contemporary feminist films with her films 'Die flexible Frau' and 'Top Girl' or 'la déformation professionnelle'."

Awards

Mira Partecke won the German Independence Award Honorary Prize at the Oldenburg International Film Festival for her brilliant portrayal as a postmodern, fragile and emotional loiterer . At this film festival she was also nominated for the German Independence Award Audience Award and the German Independence Award Best German Film .
