The Wood For The Trees
(Der Wald vor lauter Bäumen)
Director: Maren Ade, colour, 84 min., 2003
Melanie Pröschle is on the verge of a new phase in her life: she’s ended her relationship with her long-term boyfriend, completed her teacher training, and is moving from Plochingen to Karlsruhe to start her first job there. This insecure, often awkward, young woman barely comes into contact with her colleagues, while the students won’t take her seriously and react increasingly aggressively.
