About Angst in meinem Kopf
Sonja Brunner works as a prison officer in a prison. She has been earning money for the family for years, providing a living for her stepdaughter Iris and her husband Jens. Jens is a freelance writer and hopes to finally land a publishing deal with his new novel. After an incident with prisoner Michael Zeuner, who had taken Sonja Brunner hostage during an escape attempt, she moves to another prison - she represses the experience and continues to work. At first everything goes well, but the financial pressure at home increases.
Directed by Thomas Stiller, Angst in meinem Kopf leans on a strong ensemble — Claudia Michelsen, Ralph Herforth, Matthias Koeberlin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
