Melanie starts her teaching career armed with alternative methodology and bright-eyed optimism. On her first day she makes an ambitious speech about giving the school "a breath of fresh air." Instead Melanie is rejected by her colleagues, mistreated by her students and lonely in her personal life. This remarkably insightful debut by Maren Ade (Toni Erdmann) won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance.
