The Ground Beneath My Feet

"Lola Wegenstein (Valerie Pachner) is a successful executive at a consultancy, but she is crumbling inside. Her sister Conny (Pia Hierzegger) has serious psychological problems and is therefore hospitalized in a special hospital. Meanwhile, behind the scenes of her work, she maintains a hidden relationship with her boss (Mavie Hörbiger) while aspiring to new leaps. This is the central plot of 'Der Boden unter den Füßen', a feature film by director Marie Kreutzer (Die Vaterlosen) which focuses on a woman suffering from burnout and severe emotional exhaustion. After all, everything is crumbling, everything is in pieces. What looks good at one moment is bad at another. It's a complicated life, full of challenging highs and lows. From this, the filmmaker treats this story, so powerful and with emotional undertones, in the coldest and most distant way possible, bringing a provocative look at the work and people dilemmas of the modern world. After all, in 'Der Boden unter den Füßen', there is no escape. Just an apathetic world waiting for us."
