Systemsprenger plot

Benni is a nine-year-old tomboy who suffered a trauma during her childhood. This manifests itself in panic attacks and aggressive behavior. Her behavior moves between the extremes of disarming and insufferable and as a result her mother has received help from the Youth Care. Despite the good intentions of the youth workers, Benni remains unmanageable and all her opportunities within 'the system' seem lost. Shortly after the arrival of Micha, who specializes in aggressive youth, he offers to take Benni under his wing for three weeks in a remote house, far from the city and without electricity or internet. But is there any hope at all for the unmanageable Benni?

The film looks realistic and the reality is depressing: the film shows the poignant paradox of the care in which a child has become unmanageable because she feels abandoned in her home situation and then bonds with her care providers as substitute parents who because they are not her parents, they have to abandon her again and only traumatize her again. There seems to be no escape from this vicious circle and you can vividly imagine that if such a girl does not end up in a closed institution, she will end up on the street and soon get a bad boyfriend - finally someone who is always there for her! – by whom she gets into drugs and prostitution.

The film thus has a confrontational message and the young actress plays superbly. However, the film is monotonous and tedious in its succession of similar attacks of aggression and escape attempts, however dramatic they may be in themselves. And where you expect or at least hope for a good ending, now that it seems to click very well with the helper Micha, the film doesn't even take that turn that makes the film end as hopeless as it started.

Very well played by Helena Zengel. I'm very impressed. How well does she empathize with her role and how believable it is. The movie touched me very much. The story is intense and sad. I sympathized with Bennie. Although I sometimes got a little annoyed with all her screaming, I also found her cute and funny. A captivating, quirky child. It's sad that situations like this actually happen. A strong movie! 5*

In photos, Helena Zengel looks cute, but here she plays the role of an unruly child who screams a lot and has aggressive temper. She has an impulse control problem. The question is how educators deal with this. Punishment and medication do not solve the problem. Instead, a committed youth worker tries to bond with her. Something endearing shines through her misbehavior. The jerky camera style does suit the subject.
