Germany’s entry for “Best International Feature Film” at the 2024 Academy Awards

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 judgemental and angry world outside its classrooms. (Subtitled)
