Die Aufnahmeprüfung(2012)

Die Aufnahmeprüfung is a German drama following Susanne Meissner, an anaesthesiologist raising three teenage children largely alone five years after divorcing her self-absorbed surgeon husband, Ferdinand. Though they agreed to co-parent, Susanne bears the weight of caring for Toni, Valerie and Ludwig while juggling her career and personal sacrifices. The film explores the exhausting reality of single motherhood, where her own needs constantly take a backseat to the demands of adolescent children. As Susanne navigates this challenging period, the story examines the emotional toll of unequal parenting responsibilities and the quiet struggle of a woman trying to hold her fractured family together. It's a compassionate portrait of resilience, compromise, and the price of devotion.
