Mängelexemplar
Too Hard To Handle
It's no surprise when Karo is fired. She is loud, too emotional and egocentric, says her friend Anna. Karo is not one to give up easily, though: she decides to change and goes into therapy. Although her therapist advises her to keep calm, Karo throws herself into it. She wants to be Super Patient, catch up on the mourning she hasn't done, put her mother on the spot, and break up with her boyfriend Philipp. But it's all too much in one go, her strong façade breaks and she becomes depressed, to the extent that neither her pal Max nor her grandmother Bille can help her. It is only when her mother takes Karo in that she slowly pulls herself together again. She now declares war on her crisis, because "depression is a fucking event."
