    Synopsis

    Ever frequently, irritations, anxiety disorders, burn-out, depressions, and other psychological illnesses have become a reason for employees to obtain a sick certificate. How are 24/7 availability, multitasking, or the abolition of regular working hours linked to this phenomenon? In her graduation film for Cologne Academy of Media Arts, Katharina Pethke portrays the blurring of boundaries at work and the insecurities provoked by this. BURNING WITHIN shows people looking for help: seminars and coaching sessions where the coaches guide people towards self-guidance.
