Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who loves a strong drama. Best on a quiet night when you're in the mood to feel something.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 28 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

An industrial plant gets into difficulties. The factory owner then decides to sell the company and makes all the employees redundant. How do the dismissed employees deal with the new situation?
