Der Direktor (1980)

Cast

Ulrich Thein, Janina Hartwig, Barbara Dittus, Horst Drinda, Regina Beyer

Overview

The school authorities want to read success stories in director Joachim Faber's reports. But they cannot simply be produced on an assembly line. Pupils, for example, use the wrong tone. The matter draws circles until the superiors finally talk about refusal to work. Director Faber is caught between the efforts to resolve the conflict with pedagogical means and the pressure from above.
