"It's about mathematics not magic." Sony Pictures Classics has revealed the US trailer for the German film titled The Teachers' Lounge, made by Ilker Çatak. It won a bunch of awards already, with rave reviews from almost everyone who has seen it, earning €1.8 million at the German box office. One of the best foreign films this year! 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 & the school system, the consequences of her own actions threaten to break her. This anxiety-laden, compelling psychological thriller is specifically about "the seismic repercussions that can come from the seemingly smallest of decisions."
