Carla Nowak, a new teacher, faces a school-wide theft problem that escalates when money is stolen from her, leading her to secretly identify the school secretary, Friederike Kuhn, as the culprit. Carla's confrontation with Ms. Kuhn results in the secretary's dismissal, causing Ms. Kuhn's son, Oskar, to become isolated and defiant, culminating in a public confrontation at a parents' evening. As the school debates justice and privacy, Oskar retaliates against Carla by destroying her laptop, prompting a recommendation for his suspension. The conflict culminates in a tense standoff where Oskar refuses to leave the classroom, forcing police to forcibly remove him from the school.

Oskar KuhnHere: "Ideally, school is a protected space for students. Not so at our school. Following a series of thefts, we students were faced with measures otherwise found in rogue regimes. Fellow student Ali Yilmaz was taken from class in a raid-style operation and wrongly accused. The teachers were Milosz Dudek and Thomas Liebenwerda." My humble self.
Thanks. Before we start, a few clarifying words: All of you know what happened in the gym the other day. Oskar will be suspended for ten days. He can't go on our school trip, either. Furthermore, the school newspaper caused displeasure among faculty. School management thus banned its circulation on campus.
This student's frustration has vented in a propensity for violence, which manifests itself physically. My recommendations for now would be a change of classes. In case the situation doesn't improve for the student, a change of schools might be appropriate. A change that the mother would have to agree to.
May I have your attention? Come over here. Quiet, please. You too, Mr. Liebenwerda. You'll all be aware that the school newspaper contains an unfortunate article. I've spoken with Mr. Dudek and the school's legal department. We're left with no other option but to ban the sale of this issue on campus.
As luck would have it, I have to go to the ATM because I have no money at all. Or is there anything that belongs to you here? Please, take it. Or do you wanna frisk me?
Fine, but a change of class will leave us with someone who firstly incites subordination, secondly beat up classmates, and thirdly smashes windows to steal laptops.
