The Teachers’ Lounge (12A)

2023 Germany Dir. Ilker Çatak

A spate of thefts at a secondary school has led to suspicion and accusations among staff and students. When teacher Carla Nowak captures the culprit on video, the tension escalates. As a mutiny builds in her class, her colleagues turn on her and parents accuse her of losing control, Carla fights to re-establish a balance.

Official submission of Germany and nominated for the ‘Best International Feature Film‘ category of the 2024 Oscars.
