Meine liebe Frau Schildt

Overview

Documentary about a primary school teacher who has developed her own unique educational philosophy over the years and is now about to retire: Dietlind Schildt takes on a fourth-grade class for the last time at a primary school in Hamburg's Ottensen district—for the children, it is their last year of primary school. The filmmakers accompany her through a typical school day, letting the experienced teacher talk about the challenges and difficulties of her profession and explain her own philosophy of a balanced education that goes beyond the usual norms. But the students also have their say, talking about their diverse experiences and influences during their time at elementary school.
