Ellen Babić

Teacher Astrid and her former student Klara have been living together for many years. One evening, they receive a visit from Wolfram, Astrid's supervisor. He has invited himself to discuss a sensitive matter involving student Ellen Babić, which—if true—would be prosecuted. And would have legal consequences for Astrid. In a very short time, the two women's living room becomes a #MeToo battleground for the right to interpret, power, and guilt or innocence. Three equally strong parties fight for their survival: with an uncertain outcome...

With ELLEN BABIĆ, Marius von Mayenburg has crafted a delicately penetrating crime thriller that becomes increasingly menacing with every glass of wine. Who did what? Who is lying, and who is telling the truth? And is it possible to emerge victorious from this dark web of relationships?
