FILM DESCRIPTION
The first job for Carla Nowak, a committed and sympathetic teacher, will be fraught. The hierarchy is rigid, the cliques established, rules applied unevenly. Throw in a string of thefts, a biased investigation and Carla’s failing attempts to mediate. The German Middle School begins to reflect the judgmental and angry world outside its classrooms.
