Early Doors - Monday: The Teachers' Lounge 12A

From the archive

This film was last shown on 15 April 2024

Carla Nowak (Leonie Benesch), a dedicated sports and math teacher, starts her first job at a high school. She stands out among the new staff because of her idealism. When a series of thefts occur at the school and one of her students is suspected, she decides to get to the bottom of the matter on her own. Carla tries to mediate between outraged parents, opinionated colleagues, and aggressive students, but is relentlessly confronted with the structures of the school system. The more desperately she tries to do everything right, the more the young teacher threatens to break.

Nominated for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Academy Awards.

Early Doors: Sit back and enjoy coffee, cake and the big screen at Showroom Cinema for just £7 with a special all-in-one ticket for over 55s.

This week's screening will NOT feature descriptive subtitles. This is because they were not included in the digital files supplied by the film distributor. Hopefully as more cinemas offer this service to their customers, this will become less common and more films will become available to screen using this facility.

However, this film will feature English subtitles for foreign language dialogue.
