Es muss – It must (2021)
During the course of the same humiliating day, Silvia is fired from her job even though she is just a couple
of years away from retirement, the police fine her in the course of a traffic check, and the director of her
church choir takes away the solo part from her. During the rehearsal of the Ave Maria, Silvia decides to
just let go in an act of silent resistance.
