Eine Unerhörte Frau plot

Triple parents Hanni and Sepp always have their hands full. Their youngest child, 9-year-old Magdalena, in particular, has been complaining of headaches for quite some time. For her age, the girl is very small, sickly and extremely sensitive. Her eyesight is deteriorating day by day. When she visits the doctor, Hanni assures her that there is nothing wrong with her daughter. She only has to wear thick horn-rimmed glasses to counteract the visual handicap. But Magdalena's symptoms are not diminishing.

Film based on true events.

The process of flashbacks is extensively used in this emotional print. Unpleasant events from the mother's childhood, many thoughts that flash through the mind at important moments or during the tense wait and, in fact, the entire story is one big flashback from the courtroom where the film ends.

Films about sick children with a parent who will do anything to save them inevitably evoke emotion and this "Eine unerhörte Frau" is also one of them. Rosalie Thomas's acting is very commendable and it may be said that the script is very well put together.

Recommended, actually.

Hanni Schwaiger [Rosalie Thomas] is the only one who is really concerned about her youngest daughter's physical complaints. Magdalena [Romy Butz] is not growing along with her peers and complains of severe headaches. Hanni also does not get a response from the pediatrician [Sylvana Krappatsch], and her mother-in-law [Gisela Schneeberger] in particular ensures that Hanni's husband [Florian Karlheim] and her sons [Leander Butz, Jan Wehner] also think she is acting out. In flashbacks to Hanni's youth, we discover why she continues to fight so persistently for recognition of Magdalena's complaints. Steinbacher's sober direction gives this a documentary-like character, making the most painful moments come alive. Just try to hold back your tears during the intimate conversations in which Magdalena asks questions about her future. Thomass is excellent in the leading role, but Butz is simply unforgettable. The only downside is the sometimes sloppy camera work by Christian Rein.
