Order (1980) is an unconventional psychological drama directed by Sohrab Shahid Saless that delves into the intricacies of post-war German society. The story centers around Herbert (Heinz Lieven), a reliable middle-class engineer who abruptly resigns from his job and retreats to his home, often found in the bathroom, communicating very little with those around him. His wife (Dorothea Moritz) is particularly distressed by his behavior, especially when he starts shouting from the street on Sunday mornings, urging everyone to "get up." As Herbert's actions become increasingly erratic, his wife, who is now the sole breadwinner, persuades him to seek treatment at a clinic. However, the question remains: does Herbert need medical intervention, or is he protesting against a society that is overly structured, sterile, and mired in the dullness of daily routines?
