Monika is a German drama directed by Christian Werner from 2011 . Rosalie Thomass plays the leading role as Monika, who is almost completely blind after a failed eye operation .
action
The young Monika lives with her single alcoholic mother and takes on most of the household chores despite her limited eyesight from birth. In order to be able to escape the village life, at least temporarily, she decides to get the driver's license, but does not pass the eye test at an ophthalmologist. Nor does the doctor give her any hope that she could ever pass a driver's license test.
Monika does not want to come to terms with this diagnosis and goes to an eye clinic without her mother's knowledge. Based on an advertising brochure from the clinic, she hopes to have a clear view without glasses in the future.
Her plan ends in a fiasco : The operation in the clinic fails and Monika is almost completely blind from now on. Then she first falls into a deep mental hole, from which she frees herself by - initially hesitantly - agreeing to attend a school for the blind and after a few setbacks there decides to begin vocational training as a physiotherapist and to get her own apartment to take.
