When the teachers' room becomes a stifling closed door
Written and directed by İlker Çatak, The Teachers' Room follows the journey of Carla Nowak, a young mathematics and physical education teacher in a secondary school which applies a “zero tolerance” policy.
When a series of thefts takes place in the teachers' lounge, a climate of suspicion within the establishment sets in and the students are searched. The teaching staff then suspects Ali, a young man of Turkish origin, and the procedure turns into humiliation for the boy, even though he is innocent.
Carla then decides to investigate herself and lets her laptop camera record what is happening in the staff room. And then everything changes, when the establishment is shaken by the discoveries and chaos sets in.

The project for this film was born from a discussion on school memories of İlker Çatak and his co-writer Johannes Duncker, on similar facts. This inspiration from reality allows La Salle des profs to start as an intimate social drama in a school environment which very quickly turns into a stifling thriller.
The spiral and paranoia set in very quickly and the film never stops questioning us and leading us in complex directions in an escalation as breathtaking as it is terrifying, thanks to captivating writing and rigorous and relentless staging. .
You will experience all the emotions in front of The Teacher's Room, which guides us through the distraught gaze of its incredible lead actress Leonie Benesch, who played Princess Cecilie in The Crown, and who we saw in the series Babylon Berlin and Around the world in 80 days.
The film “The Teachers’ Room” is available on myCANAL.
