In addition to all of the above, quite famous actors are involved in the film. "Grade Teacher" was released in November 2013.
Creators
The German filmmakers Bora Dagtekin and Simon Haushild decided on a bold act, they were not afraid to expose the laughing stock of German teachers, who always boasted of the quality of their education and level of teaching. The banter was a success, and their creation took its rightful place among the world-famous films of the comedy genre about immoral teachers, such as the French film âCrazy Teachersâ and the American âBad Teacherâ. And behind all this, the director did not forget about the semantic load of the comedy: the plot does not sag for a moment, the actors play with inspiration.
âThe test teacherâ is not the first creation of Dagtekin, he is known for working on the following projects: âTurkish for Beginnersâ, âOn Wheelsâ and others.
Plot
The comedy âGrade Teacherâ, the actors and roles of which were selected to each other in agreement with the creators of the movie, has a rather straightforward plot. The main character is an unsuccessful, but very charming robber Zeki Muller, after spending several months in prison, is released and rushes to pick up prey buried at a construction site. What was his surprise when at this place he saw the constructed gym of the most difficult school in the city?
Not bewildered, he goes to get a job as a guard at the school, so that at night he could easily pick up his own and dump him away. But as a result of a misunderstanding, he is accepted by the teacher for a replacement. And here his cheerful life begins. He gets the most difficult and lagging class at school, but, using his tricks, he finds a common language with his students and falls in love with the teacher, the absolute opposite of himself, Lisi. The actors involved in the project brought this idea of ââthe film playwright Simon Haushild to the viewer. "Grade Teacher" for individual artists was the debut in the big movie.

Elias played a very rude, but charming robber, with his natural data, the actor is very good at playing the roles of bad guys. He has the audience with sincerity, openness and a charming smile.
