Franka suffers from a shame phobia, feels judged by the looks of other people and prefers not to stand out, not to be the center of attention and to live her life as a girl in the background. Today is the final exam to become a veterinarian, her long-held dream for a happy life because she feels comfortable and relaxed around animals. Surprisingly the exam is oral, she has to step into the foregound, into the center of attention where her fear and panic lies. Franka faces this challenge with all her courage and the tools she has learned in therapy to overcome this final obstacle that stands between her and her happiness - and maybe even builds a first delicate social bridge in the process.
