Dear Amelie is a German TV film from 2005 by the director Maris Pfeiffer .
action
17-year-old Amelie moves with her parents Bernd and Kristin from the provincial Burghausen to Munich. While her parents are busy adjusting to their new surroundings, they overlook the fact that their daughter never manages to gain a foothold. She fails to make new friends, she gets lonely and becomes depressed. A suicide attempt fails, but is dismissed as a slip by the small family.
Mother Kristin then tries to be particularly caring for her daughter, but does not notice how restricted Amelie feels as a result. Father Bernd, on the other hand, has growing doubts about the slip-up theory. He is the first to suspect a planned behavior, but shies away from the consequences.
The situation escalated when the fanatical animal rights activist Amelie chained herself naked at the gate of Bernd's new company to protest against their indirect involvement in animal experiments . Amelie is completely beside herself and can hardly be calmed down, so that her father finally agrees to be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Kristin is outraged and tries to get Amelie's release immediately, although the doctors urgently advise against it. Amelie is manic-depressive and needs professional help. But the mother is not yet ready to accept this.
Back home, Amelie is now additionally burdened by the separation of her parents. Since the daughter's condition continues to deteriorate, Bernd and Kristin decide to take her on vacation for a few days. The situation there is now finally getting out of hand. Amelie wanders aimlessly through the night and is also raped. Kristin is now ready to acknowledge that her daughter is seriously ill.
Amelie begins in-patient therapy , in which she learns to live with her illness and to break away from her mother's overwhelming love. Afterwards, she no longer returns to her parents, who want to try again together, but begins her independent life in a supervised living group.
