Motivation, FIPRESCI Prize Munich 2016: “With a deceptive lightness of touch and a warm sense of humor, director Mareille Klein chronicles a woman’s internal and external struggles to become a mother, with the complexity of the protagonist beautifully suggested through the precise yet fluid writing and the exceptional talent of actress Katrin Röver, who embodies the thoughts and feelings of a woman having to deal with an unreliable partner; friends and acquaintances who all seem to have kids; students that mock her authority and obsession with fertility and a furry child substitute that has life sucked out of it in the most unfortunate manner.”
