Description
Simon is a newly qualified teacher, but he scrapes by on art classes and occasional cleaning jobs. Under heavy pressure from the Job Centre, he lands a job as a teacher at a youth school in Copenhagen. It turns out to be a place for “special students with certain challenges,” and the staff room is a time warp where coffee is drunk and VHS copies of Zappa are passed around.
A harsh satire of the Danish education system.
