Saoirse Ronan steps into the spotlight as a primary school teacher in Bad Apples, a film that delves into the charmingly chaotic reality of navigating the complexities of classroom life and the inevitable string of questionable decisions that comes with it.
Loosely inspired by the novel De Oönskare by Rasmus Andersson, the movie follows the journey of teacher Maria as she grapples with the challenges of managing an unruly and unpredictable student, offering a look at the messy, yet deeply human, world of education.
