The title itself indicates that this film is set in a school but this one is as different from ‘TheHoldovers’ as chalk from cheese. Both films are brilliant, emotively enriching experiences. The Teacher’s lounge is a brilliantly crafted investigative thriller constructed from as innocuous an event as a theft within the perimeters of a junior high school with students and faculty members. The film aims to raise thought-provoking questions while refraining from providing a definitive answer.
Carla Nowak (Leone Benesch) who hails from Poland originally, and new to the school, is idealistic and passionate about teaching. Her teaching methods are not regimented. She prefers to motivate students by having them think creatively from different perspectives. When one of her students is accused of stealing money, and the school principal Dr Bohm (Anne-Kathrin Gummich) decides on interrogating the students, as well as having a conference with the accused student’s parents, she objects. Carla herself had witnessed an occurrence at the teacher’s lounge and given that there are so many thefts reported at the school she prefers to set a trap using her laptop’s camera and her own wallet.
