SUCK ME SHAKESPEER
Somebody built a goddamn school gym directly over the stolen cash his girlfriend buried for him. And now, ex-con Zeki Müller has
no choice but to pass himself off as a substitute teacher at Goethe Comprehensive School, thus providing the German educational
system with one more problem, i.e. the craziest teacher of all time. At night, Zeki digs secretly for his loot: during the day, he uses
drastic yet effective methods to bring the unruly kids of class 10B back on track. Although his prim and proper fellow teacher Lisi
Schnabelstedt condemns the unorthodox pedagogical approach taken by her new „colleague,“ she nevertheless finds herself falling in love with Zeki and even helps him dig up something more valuable than cash, namely the remains of his own moral integrity.
“A politically incorrect comedy that mocks current debates about
school reform, immigration and economic disparity...” THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER Dagtekin succeeds in creating an atmosphere in which anything
goes, but as in his previous work, he does ensure that the characters
remain recognizable … He‘s equally apt at balancing the story of
the protagonists with that of the impressive lineup of supporting
players, who are all clever variations on clichés and are played by
the impressive ensemble.
