The Forest for the Trees

Bursting with idealism, Melanie Pröschle, a young teacher from Swabia, idealistically starts her first job at a middle school in the city of Karlsruhe. She wants to bring a wind of change to school. But the older and experienced members of the teaching staff are irritated by her educational methods, and the students quickly discover her weak points. The forest around her is getting thicker, and she, in her desperation, starts running in the wrong direction.
