The Teacher’s Lounge
12 – 18 April, 2024
A teacher finds her good intentions leave her trapped in a moral maze after she tries to get to the bottom of school thefts in lker Çatak’s tense Oscar-nominated drama.
Idealistic teacher Carla (Leonie Benesch), decides to take matters into her own hands after a spate of school thefts leaves a young child unfairly targeted. Using morally debatable methods she zeroes in on a culprit within the faculty – a situation complicated by the fact they have a child in the school. Soon Carla is feeling the heat not just from her colleagues but also from the children and their parents. lker Çatak never lets the tension slack as we see the uncompromising school system turn on those within it, fracturing Carla’s life in the process.
