System Crasher
Running time: 118 mins
Synopsis
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. Benni has one single goal: to be back at home with her mommy! Unfortunately, her mother is scared of her own daughter.
Trying to find a permanent placement for Benni, Child Protection Services hires Micha, an anger management trainer 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 psychological study and crafts vibrant, visceral and emotional cinema, which evokes unforgettable performances.
