DIRECTOR Q&A!
In Locked-In Society (2022), the father of a teenage-boy enters the school’s staff room and demands a better grade for his son so that he can take part in the final High School examinations. As the teachers deny his request, the father hostages the teachers and locks them up in the staff room. With a gun in his hand, he extorts them to reconsider his son’s grades in the following hour. However, the discussion only discloses the personal depths of each teacher.
After the film, stay for a Q&A session with director Sönke Wortmann, one of the most prolific and successful filmmakers in contemporary German cinema.
