Taking It Back
Most of the time, Patrick Angerer enjoys a pretty laid back view of life. So he's not especially impressed by the protest action his workmates are taking against the strict wage targets set by the new management of Falkendorf steel plant. But things suddenly begin to get interesting for Patrick when his ex, Barbara Brossman, still the great love of his life, is sent to Falkendorf as the union's lawyer: as she's brought along her new partner, Patrick has his work cut out trying to convince Babs that his life doesn't entirely consist of football and trips down the pub.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director constructs a comedy on the juxtaposition of a large-scale labor dispute and the protagonist's personal, almost adolescent motivations. He works with the industrial aesthetic of the steel plant as a backdrop for human flaws and ambitions, crafting a light yet substantial narrative.
What lingers after the viewing is a well-made situational comedy with recognizable archetypes and warm irony, where the romantic plot proves more complex than the fight for workers' rights. It's a reminder that grand changes often start with simple, personal catalysts. — MovieFinder Editorial
