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.
Primary school teacher Luisa loves her new job in a small Bavarian town, where she has also found a boyfriend. But her happiness and reputation are shattered when a naked image of her is posted on the school website. The police can’t help her, and the whole town is gossiping. Could a local businessman be responsible, because she failed to give his son the grades he needed for the school of his choice? When Luisa finally obtains proof of who initiated the cyberattack, she disappears. Or has she been murdered?
“Well-written and appropriately acted ‘Defamed’ is one of the best television films in a long time.” – Quotenmeter
“The premise is simple, but the story is not – thanks in no small part to the sophisticated cinematic language and the cleverly interwoven, fluid, and never tedious dramaturgy, the drama remains gripping for 90 minutes, telling the story of a journey where you never know whether it leads into darkness or out of it.” – Tittelbach.tv
“In the excellent television drama ‘Defamed’ director Viviane Andereggen skillfully blends the small-town drama into a crime thriller. Highly recommended!” – Schwaebische.de
