Substitute Music Teacher Struggles with Challenging Students
Maria Kowalke, a deeply unemployed individual, is temporarily replacing a music teacher at a secondary school. Her tenth-grade students' lack of discipline and rowdiness prove to be especially taxing. The situation seems dire, but Maria perseveres.
Despite her trying circumstances, Maria's father, Max Schellinger, a retired colonel, refuses to accept that his home has become a senior residence in Berlin. He stands outside Maria's door each day, stubbornly clinging to the past. In the face of adversity, Maria contemplates giving up until she realizes the importance of taking control of her own life and that of her students.
In this challenging environment, their lives take a turn for the better, not just because their joint performance of the song "I love life" is well-received. Maria Kowalke is a resilient educator, while Max Schellinger, her father, remains young at heart.
According to public records and major film databases, there appears to be no confirmed tragicomedy titled "Maria Kowalke (2018)" directed by Sherry Hormann. However, actress Petra Schmidt-Schaller portrays a character named Maria Kowalke in the German TV movie "Wir lieben das Leben (2018)." This film is not explicitly described as a tragicomedy, nor is it associated with Sherry Hormann. Sherry Hormann is a prolific German film director, though no evidence links her to a feature-length tragicomedy titled "Maria Kowalke" from 2018.
