If you loved A Real Job, try Das erste Jahr
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Thomas Lilti, and they both carry the bittersweet, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Real Job, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Das erste Jahr is
Here's a film about the pressures of higher education, just in case you forgot. Two first-year med students, one a hopeful newbie and the other a repeat offender, navigate a cutthroat academic gauntlet. It's a French movie about the perils of trying hard, which means it's also about giving up.
