German movie about a new teacher who alienates her colleagues. I saw this film about one year ago; about a young clueless teacher who alienates her colleagues by her inability to read their negative feelings towards her. The ending is haunting, enigmatic, and very sad. I can't remember the name of the movie nor its star. It has been driving me nuts. Can anyone help? Thanks

Could it be Der Wald vor lauter Bäumen http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386862/?

If it is, you are right. Absolutely haunting movie. I saw it last November at Thessaloniki film festival and I keep thinking about it since then. The main actress, Eva Lobau, is fantastic.

I would also guess it was "Der Wald vor lauter Bäumen", which was shown at the Goethe Institute in Stockholm in 2005.
