Logline

DEFAMED

Luisa Jobst is a grade-school teacher in Bavaria. She's as idealistic as she is fair — much to the displeasure of a father who's hoping she'll give his son better grades. One day, a nude photo of Luisa suddenly appears on the school website. The police can't help her, and the whole town is gossiping. By herself, she tracks down the person responsible — and soon goes missing without a trace.
