In early-‘80s Bratislava, middle-aged military widow--and newly-hired schoolteacher--Mária Drazdechová (Zuzana Mauréry) showed herself wholly willing to use her party connections to cadge favors from her students and their families. While her abuses drive some of the affected parents to call for her discipline, not all will muster the courage to condemn. Telling parable from director Jan Hrebejk ("Divided We Fall") also stars Csongor Kassai, Peter Bebjak, Martin Havelka. 103 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Slovak; Sibtitles: English. In Slovak with English subtitles.
