action
The 37-year-old divorced Michael Grothe is a German teacher at a Berlin secondary school. As a teacher he loves his job and is very committed to his students, which affects his private life. His class is most important to him; Most of all, the difficult Nico is close to his heart, from which the beginning relationship with his colleague Lisa Kranz suffers. While others have long since given up on Nico, Grothe tries to encourage him, crosses boundaries and brings himself and others into difficult situations. Although he ultimately fails because of Nico, he still has the hope of having made a difference in the students and bringing them closer to personal responsibility.
Reviews
"Dramatic (television) film, developed a bit too straightforward, but convincing through its honest demeanor and the excellent actors."
“The intensity of the film is at times difficult to bear, so that you get an idea of how difficult the job must be for teachers in socially disadvantaged areas. This is mainly thanks to the script by Beate Langmaack, who, after careful research and with great empathy, designed the psychogram of a teacher and his students. Lars Kraume's production impresses with its excellent acting and the courage to take pauses for breath and poetic moments. The film's strengths also include its omissions: It neither teaches about the problems of the German school system nor deals with its abysses in a sensation-seeking or lascivious manner. The viewer himself has to look for answers, for possible solutions - or admit the failure of society in the fight for young people at secondary schools. "
From a scientific point of view, the film recently received an “excellent conceptualization” of the “very complex” topic and a “high (s) aesthetic level”. Together with films such as The Conference and Fidgety Philipp , the film makes “an important, educational contribution to a social discourse of high relevance.” Like this one, it belongs “as 'required reading' in the (...) introductory event for all those studying to be a teacher . "
