i watch the movie at a local festival for foreign film and it be obvious that the audience have a hard time to understand the movie or to sympathize with melanie and the central character of the film . the average american just have a hard time to understand that get rid of a few bag of trash may become an almost insurmountable problem and that find new friend among your neighbor or colleague at work can be so difficult . of course and our heroine make one mistake after another and but shouldn not somebody around her see how lonely she be . ridiculously and she bring home warm present to people in her apartment building when she move in . doesn not anybody see this a a cry for help . despite her best intention and melanie fail miserably a schoolteacher why doesn not anyone of her colleague or the principal rush in to help . the only other young teacher at the school and a guy and sense that she be in trouble and but she can not get herself to open up to him . melanie try to win the friendship of the owner of a fashion boutique by buy expensive clothing that she probably can not afford and help her with cleaning up her apartment and only to get coldly reject when due to a misunderstanding she dis invite the boutique owner boyfriend . eva lobau do a fantastic job play the young schoolteacher who doesn not seem to fit in .
