Das Lehrerzimmer.
When one of her students is suspected of theft, teacher Carla Nowak decides to get to the bottom of the matter. Caught between her ideals and the school system, the consequences of her actions threaten to break her.
The Teacher's Lounge has to be the first German movie I've ever seen and I can assure you that it was a great experience, it's a film that puts you in the middle of the actions in a school that has numerous issues, in Carla's point of view the film tries to expose what modern schools look like, what teachers and students suffer from... But it never wants to you to get the answer of everything , this style might not be preferred by most of the audience, but ut think it was pretty much well placed.
A one location movie with only one main character that we see everything through her eyes, won't be that good without the intense atmosphere created especially with those creepy sound effects and most especially without the great performance of Leonie Benesch.
Finally, this is one of the best movies of the year indeed, it must not fly under the radar .
