Title: Unorthodox Teacher: Zeki Müller's Unexpected Journey
Welcome to the rollercoaster ride of an ex-con-turned-teacher, named Zeki Müller, portrayed by the talented Elyas M'Barek. This unconventional educator has been a buzz among students due to his off-the-beaten-path teaching methods. Even so, Zeki seems to be losing his zest for his new profession, as early mornings, piles of grading, and bratty kids aren't exactly his forte.
His woes multiplied as Principal Gerster (Katja Riemann), keen on enhancing the school's reputation, is determined to snag the prestigious Thai partner school away from the Schiller Gymnasium, putting extra pressure on Zeki and his fellow teacher, Lisi Schnabelstedt (Karoline Herfurth). As a result, the duo sets off on a class trip to the land of smiles, Thailand, where their chaotic students - including Jella Haase and Max von der Groeben – leave quite an impression.
Matters heat up, as competition between the schools intensifies, with teacher Hauke Wölki (Volker Bruch) pledging to cut short Zeki's teaching career. Sit back and enjoy the ride in this hilarious 140-minute standoff!
