Dir Ilker Çatak | 2023 | Germany | 98 min | 12A | German, Turkish, Polish, English

Carla, a dedicated sports and maths teacher, starts her first job at a high school. She stands out among the new staff because of her idealism. When a series of thefts occur at the school and one of her students is suspected, she decides to get to the bottom of the matter on her own. Carla tries to mediate between outraged parents, opinionated colleagues and aggressive students, but is relentlessly confronted with the structures of the school system. The more desperately she tries to do everything right, the closer she comes to breaking.

REVIEWS
"One of the most propulsive, nerve-rattling dramas you’ll see this year. Not for one second does this film lag." Randy Myers, San Jose Mercury

"A nail-biting thriller in which director Ilker Çatak and sensational star Leonie Benesch turn a tale of petty theft at a German middle school into a battle between freedom of expression and institutional control." Peter Travers, ABC News

"A pulse-pounding exploration of the ways we draw lines between enemies and friends, and the courage it takes to blur them." Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter

"It just might be the most nerve-shredding thriller of the year." Kristy Puchko, Mashable
