Claustrophobic high school witch hunt

Ilker Çatak’s fourth feature film, Teacher’s Room, is the German bet at the Oscars for best international film. A high-tension thriller set in a school where a series of robberies unleashes a witch hunt in that very particular microcosm. A teacher who decides to look for the culprit on her own account, the weight of a cold decision and the consequences it causes, serve the director with a story that reflects on fake news, racism and intergenerational conflicts.
