Carla Nowak (Leonie Benesch) is a newly appointed, very dedicated high school teacher. When one of her students is accused of theft, Carla decides to take the matter into her own hands, setting a trap for the ‘real’ thief. But her actions backfire and things begin to spiral out of control, pushing Carla to her limits. Forced to face the consequences of her own actions, her relationship with her students and colleagues begins to disintegrate.
İlker Çatak misses nothing in his brilliantly observed drama. In his unsparing film, the school becomes a proxy for the cultural and ethical clashes of modern-day society, a microcosm in which the outside world no longer exists and nothing remains private.
