About :

Showdown in the daycare: Father Marc no longer understands the world. Is his son behaving with problems? The teacher's report must be changed immediately. But she refuses - and there is a scandal during the consultation hour. Intense chamber play by Susanna Mewe. ********************************* DISCLAIMER: In this crime radio play, the topic of suicide is dealt with explicitly and in a fictionalized form. Anyone who has the feeling that they are in a seemingly hopeless situation in life should not hesitate to accept help. Help can be found, for example, by the telephone counseling service in Germany on 0800 111 0 111 or the German Depression Help Foundation on its website. ********************************* More crime novels from Deutschlandfunk Kultur: https://www.hoerspielundfeature.de/hf... ABOUT THE PIECE: A daycare center after daycare has finished, consultation hours: There is craft material on the small tables, it smells of children's sweat and soggy biscuits. Marc, in his late 30s, meets his son's teacher, who has asked him to come for a one-on-one meeting. But Marc also needs to talk: he cannot leave what the committed teacher, who is praised by the daycare parents for her attentiveness and precision, wrote about his son in the last report as it is: the little boy is noticeably apathetic and hardly interacts with other children. That is nonsense, and the report must be changed before word gets around. The teacher wants to know whether that is the reason why his wife did not come to the consultation this time. When she refuses to change the text and Marc asks increasingly specific questions about his private life, a scandal ensues. Marc hurts the young woman - and now has a much bigger problem that he has to solve. Or was that exactly the teacher's goal? Who is the woman and what does she know about Marc's wife Anna and the depths of their shared family life? As dusk falls outside and a snowstorm sets in, the parent-teacher meeting turns into a dangerous duel that quickly gets out of control. An intense chamber play about violence against women and the battle for the right to interpret things between victims and perpetrators.
