Summary: Wendy works in a diner and lives with her husband and son in an unnamed suburb in Germany. When she meets the homeless Marek, her life changes. He advises her to stop taking the pills that her psychiatrist prescribes for her. She takes them because of an event in her childhood where she was inexplicably involved in the death of the school principal. He also says to her "You are one of us", then jumps off a highway bridge and is run over. The next evening she meets Marek again, who is unharmed. This convinces her to stop taking the pills. After she leaves the diner after her next shift, she is attacked. She discovers her powers and hurls her attackers into the air for several meters. Then she uses her skills and threatens her boss to get a promotion. Her colleague Elmar, who also has powers, sees this.

Stephen Crane

Comparing it to the first Captain America film would be unfair but comparing it to Avengers: Endgame would make this Oscarworthy. It looks worthy of a viewing.

I liked this, although I think that a lot of the humour was lost in the subtitles,(I can follow German enough most of the time but still have them on as sometimes there are thick accents or very fast talking). There is a lot of double meaning and wordplay in this. It also has Nina Kunzendorf in who is in the very underrated 'Phoenix'. Defiantly hold up well against this sort of thing. Although I really recommend Netflix' 'Warrior Nun' series, based on the 90s comic and really done well.
