Melanie Pröschle, a young teacher from Swabia, starts her first job at a secondary school in Karlsruhe full of idealism. Yet she fails to find the connection she had hoped for, either amongst her colleagues or with the pupils.

Der Wald vor lauter Bäumen
Feeling increasingly lonely, Melanie seeks closeness with her neighbour Tina. The more she tries to befriend her, the more she oversteps boundaries and becomes entangled in lies, false hopes and self-degradation.
Even in her debut film, Maren Ade displays that keen observation – somewhere between vicarious embarrassment and empathy – which would later also characterise *Everyone Else* and *Toni Erdmann*. Eva Löbau portrays the young teacher with painful realism.
