Franco-German Film Series
Dans la cour

Thu 15 June 2017

The Goethe Institute and the Alliance Française are delighted to present this year’s Franco-German film series, which focuses on different facets of comedy from both countries.

After a 13-month stretch in prison, the crook Zeki Müller is looking for the loot from his last robbery. He applies for a position as a janitor at the school, since, as it happens, the money is buried under the new school gym. However, Zeki lands a job as a supply teacher. He has to deal with a naive trainee teacher and problem kids who can’t even spell “Fuck you, Goethe” correctly. Thus, the young man unintentionally embarks on a career in education. Bora Dagtekin’s wild farce was the most successful German film of 2013.

Director: Bora Dağtekin, 2013
