The Teachers' Lounge

Hard and uncomfortable truths in an unconventional schoolroom drama, as well as a study of power relations and how they eventually erode. A riveting drama that stood out at the Berlin Festival’s Panorama thanks to its in-depth glance.

Synopsis

A new math teacher gets off to a good start in her new job, idealistically believing that she can motivate teenagers. But a series of thefts on the school grounds quickly casts suspicions on one of her students. The teacher indignantly tries to get to the truth herself, but the case is more complicated than it seemed at first and causes a series of consequences.
