We are extremely proud to present the most successful German movie of 2014. It is also the highest grossing German movie of all time!
A criminal who can barely spell is forced to become a substitute teacher in this the new comedy from Turkish-German director Bora Dagtekin.
Somebody built a 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.
This story has rapid-fire dialogue amusing over-the-top acting and antics, and the great chemistry of M'Barek and Karoline Herfurth ensure audiences will have a pretty good time.
The movie has won 6 major awards in 2014:
• Audience's Prize of the Bayerischen Filmpreis
• Bambi Award for the best German film
• Goldene Leinwand
• Bogey Award in Platinum for 5 million views at the cinema in 50 days
• Deutscher Comedypreis for the best comedy cinema movie
