Germany 2017-2019, Dir: Nora Fingscheidt, colour, 125 min., with Engl. subtitles. Cast: Helena Zengel, Gabriela Maria Schmeide, Albrecht Schuch, Melanie Straub and others.

On her wild quest for love, 9-year old Benni’s untamed energy drives everyone around her to despair. She is small, but dangerous. Wherever Benni ends up, she is immediately expelled. The wild 9-year-old girl has already become what child protection services call a "system crasher". And she is certainly not looking to change her ways. Because Benni has one single goal: to be back at home with her mommy! But Bianca is scared of her own daughter. Mrs. Bafané from child protection services is trying her best to find a permanent placement for Benni.

She hires the anger manage ment trainer Micha as Benni’s school escort and suddenly there is a seed of hope. Will Micha be able to succeed where all others despaired?

While being acutely authentic, first-time director Nora Fingscheidt transcends a psycho logical study and crafts vibrant, visceral and emotional cinema, which evokes unforgettable performances.
