Synopsis:

Pelin is a young, single mother from the Wedding district of Berlin, an area with a high degree of social dysfunction. She has three children by different fathers from different countries: Robby (9), Elvis (4) and Roxanne (just 19 months). The social services have sent them on what is known as a Mother-Child-Cure, essentially a family retreat, in a beautiful countryside location in a spa town in northern Germany. The measure intends to give Pelin, who is on a continual collision course with youth services and the judicial system, time to reconsider her behavior and also recover physically as well as mentally. Unfortunately neither her roommate Christa, who suffers from a lack of self-esteem and seeks to form a bond with her, nor the dedicated staff at the clinic are able to bring clarity to the young mother's chaotic daily existence. When Pelin bumps into her former boyfriend, Edin, she is forced to finally make a decision.

Berlin tattooist and single mother of three children, Pelin (Maryam Zaree) collapses when one day her problems grow into a mountain: her son eats her boyfriends drugs and ends up in hospital,…

BURNOUT is a story about uprooting, abou the welfare state as a substitute "father", about a society structured by class, and about longing for love.
