Mark, a history teacher at a Flemish secondary school, finds a threatening note in the staff room. Instead of reporting it to the principal, he launches his own investigation, dragging along colleagues — sarcastic French teacher Alice and perpetually exhausted PE instructor Tom. Their amateur detective work quickly spirals into a comedy of errors, uncovering not just the mystery behind the threats, but hidden tensions within the faculty. This 2025 comedy-drama balances absurd situations with poignant moments, portraying the school as a microcosm with its own rules and politics. The film explores how professional solidarity clashes with personal ambitions, revealing that teachers' everyday struggles can be as dramatic as the textbook narratives they teach.

The director employs the camera as a silent observer, capturing the mundane rhythm of school life through lingering shots that are abruptly punctuated by sharp comedic beats. The dialogue thrives on tonal shifts and the unspoken understandings of workplace dynamics.
What lingers is a sense of warm recognition — many situations will feel familiar even to those far removed from education. A quiet gem for viewers who appreciate European cinema that makes its points through human detail rather than grand statements. — MovieFinder Editorial
