Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Budapest, Liszt Ferenc Airport.

For your own safety,

please remain seated with your seat belts fastened,

while the seat belt sign is on

and our aircraft comes to a complete stop.

Be careful when opening the overhead compartments

to prevent any displaced items from falling out and causing injury.

Please note that smoking is not allowed

except in designated areas.

Captain Gábor Osváth and the whole crew now says goodbye.

Thank you for choosing our airline for your journey.

We hope you had a pleasant journey with us

and we hope to see you again soon on our other flights.

Have a nice day and we look forward to seeing you again.

Thank God, finally.

Here's your hat.

Thank you.

- Wait, I'll help. - Thanks.

What's taking so long?

The door's not even open!

They're just chatting...

Calm down, honey.

Why don't they just open the fucking door?

Honey, don't swear.

They keep on chatting, instead of moving.

I've had it.

- We get off, we complain. - Good.

I messed up the reservation, so we didn't go.

- And instead, we stayed at Zoli's place. - But it was fun, wasn't it?

- Everyone ends up at your place. - Not everyone.

- And the kids? - They are OK.

Can you show me the pictures we made?

Did you guys know that Juci did her training here?

- Really? - Yes, she was here!

- You did your training here? - For how long?

Only a few months. In Hermina's class.

- Did I tell you what happened? - What?

A beetle flew into Ildikó's hair.

- Wow, her hair was so much longer! - Yeah, I had to cut it...

- You couldn't take out the beetle? - No, it got all tangled up!

- Please stop making that sound. - Oh, I'm sorry.

So, I didn't know what to do, I killed it.

Eventually she said we should cut it anyway.

We welcome September,

Good fall mornings once again,

It's great to be back at school,

It's so wonderful.

Math, PE and chemistry,

We can learn so much from history,

Lots of subjects, lots of fun.

Learning can go on.

- Who is that? A new classmate? - Maybe he's from another school.

I hope he's not in our class.

Well, he was very sad to move back.

He must've left a lot of friends behind.

- But that's only natural. - Yeah.

Sshh... The principal is on...

"The summer is over now, Cold breezes move around."

As the poet, Móra once said.

I hope you are all well-rested after the previous school year.

Mrs. Marika will be their class teacher all along?

Yes.

By all means.

Are you feeling dizzy, too? What happened?

- Are you OK? Do you need water? - No.

- Then why are you on the ground? - Because I'm bored.

Well, just because you're bored, you can't just sit down.

This is a ceremony, we stand here, OK?

If you feel okay, please get up.

- Now, okay? - It'll be over soon, okay?

You have to stand.

To your homeland without fail.

Be faithful, O Hungarian!

It is your cradle and will your grave be

which nurses, and will bury you.

In the great world outside of here.

Have you seen the CD player? Can't find it.

There is no place for you.

May fortune's hand bless or beat you.

Here you must live and die!

- The teacher is coming! - The teacher is coming!

Where did you learn this "the teacher is coming"?

What's the sign that the teacher is coming?

The bell ringing, right? Stand up!

Weekly report!

When the bell rings, you wait for the teacher standing.

I'm reporting that a class of 27 is ready for class,

and we have seven absentees.

Thank you, sit down.

By the way, it's not 27, it's 28,

because Palkó is here, he's your new classmate.

We hope you'll feel at home here.

Well, hopefully Mrs. Marika will recover soon.

There will be substitutions, but you must take it just as seriously,

otherwise you will really lag behind,

and fifth grade is not a game anymore.

Compared to this, the first four years were fun and games.

I hope you have prepared for today;

you'll be able to show it in the oral test.

Dani, where's your stuff?

Dani, can you hear me talking to you?

Where is your equipment?

In my bag.

Well, shouldn't you get it out?

Who logs the black points for Dani?

He should definitely get one now.

Do you at least know why you got a black point?

Who can tell him?

Ask them at recess, many seem to know the answer.

Have we already assigned someone to log Palkó's points?

Leila, you do it, please.

Right, let's have an oral test.

I'm going to say a number, or better yet, let's Palkó say a number.

20.

Lovely number.

- Zazu, add 6. - 26.

Good, Gergő divide it by 2.

It's... 14.

I'd say something else. Luca!

24.

Not quite, Dani?

What was the number?

- Excuse me? - What was the number?

26 divided by 2.

- Hanga! - 13.

Wonderful!

Now, the 13th kid in alphabetical order is the first to give an oral test.

Oh! There's the kitty.

Hey! Shoo!

- Get outta here! - Son of a...

Shoo!

Get out of here! Enough of you!

I can't stand listening to this shouting all day.

From morning till all afternoon.

- Yell somewhere else, not under my window. - Let's go, okay?

- Let's not disturb the lady, come on! - I've been listening to you all morning!

- Let's go, please. - Go to the other side!

- We are in a pickle! - Can anybody reach it?

- We shouldn't climb under it. - I can't go any further.

Maybe I could, but I'd get oil all over me.

We should call someone with tall arms.

Nectarines, peaches, apricots, sweet plums,

See for yourself!

We are at the usual place on the other side of the house...

- Hey. - Hey.

Where did you come from?

- Berlin. - Where is that?

In Germany.

Do you enjoy being here?

- Um... - Would you go back?

- Which is better? This or the German one? - The German one.

- Why did you come here then? - Because of my mom's work.

Are you sad that you had to leave Berlin?

- Do you miss your friends? - Yes.

- How old are you? - 10.

What is your favorite subject?

- Um... P.E. - What's your sport?

Um, soccer, basketball, American football.

- What pet would you want? - Dog.

- What kind? - German shepherd.

What would you call it?

So, with the Germans...

- In Germany. - Okay.

- They have reverse… grades. - Yes.

- This sounds weird. - Are they actually in reverse?

You mean 1 is the best grade?

Here 5 is the best.

And 1 is the worst.

So, you know, uh...

Your mom gets mad when you get a 1 then she realizes that it's a 5.

What if you write a test in Hungary, you get a 5, what does your mom say?

Huh?

She says, "Young man, you need to study more!"

Wait, then 5 is actually a 2 there.

Wait, then 5 is a 2 there.

Start running!

You can go a little faster, kids.

Lift your feet.

That's it, move your arms as you run.

Don't shuffle, knees high.

Nice and easy.

Lift your feet when you run, that's right.

Heels, too! That's it.

Stop!

Come closer. Come here.

Palkó, two more laps.

For not having a red shirt.

Come around!

Come closer.

You ran very well, you did a nice job.

Now it's game time.

- Who votes for Dodge Ball? - Me!

Get the balls from the gear room!

All right, Palkó.

Here's one.

Okay.

You know what the problem was?

You didn't bring a red shirt. That's the rule here.

It's mandatory here. Bring one next time.

You did a good job. Go.

The hungry chicks are begging for food.

- Good morning! - Good morning, sir!

Good morning, sir!

- Movie day? - We're watching a wildlife documentary.

Thank you, Mrs. Zsuzsa for substituting.

- You're welcome, any time. - Thank you.

Kids, I'd like to introduce Miss Juci.

Mrs. Marika will be absent for a while,

and Juci will take over as class teacher.

Goodbye!

Please listen to her and do what she says.

If you have any questions you can turn to Miss Juci.

Miss Juci, I wish you good luck and thank you.

Thank you.

- Bye! - Goodbye!

We'll start this lesson by you telling me what you've learned so far in literature.

Very exciting…

No!

I don't want to!

- Can you tell me a few things about…? - No!

We hate literature.

We hate all subjects, but this the most!

- Then tell me all the things you hate! - Everything.

- Can you name a few things? - Everything!

There is nothing we like.

We hate everything.

I see, but...

- I want to know what you've learned. - That spot on the board!

- Nothing. - I'm sorry?

- That spot on the board! - I actually have learned nothing.

- We've learned nothing. - Mm-hm.

I would speak but I'm afraid.

I would speak but I'm afraid.

I would speak but I'm afraid.

I would speak but I'm afraid.

You can try, honey, I shushed you before, but perhaps, this pitch is better for you.

I would speak but I'm afraid.

I would speak but I'm afraid.

No running in the hallway!

Stop-stop-stop!

No running in the hallway! Understood?

- Mr. Laci, he didn't know. - Still, no running!

- Don't cut the line! We're waiting, too. - We're just gonna wash our hands!

We're just gonna wash our hands.

Just washing our hands.

Where are you going?

Just checking the menu.

We're just checking the menu.

What's for lunch?

Chicken broth or veggie soup.

- A? That's chicken broth. - A!

Okay.

What's for lunch?

Veggie soup or chicken broth A or B.

A.

For you?

Just bread, please.

Thank you!

A or B?

As soon as we see the food…

- We're ready to throw up. - What kind of a carrot is this?

These are just carrots.

These are actually bricks to build block houses.

It's so hard!

You can't cut them!

Wait, let me try. It's impossible but...

Look how thin it is and still can't cut through.

If any of you manage to cut them, I'll enter you into the Guinness records.

I cut it. I'll enter myself.

Look at that sliced thingy… white boy meat.

And this is child brain, ground child brain.

You know, the one they use for steaks.

And this is feces made of cat saliva… or something.

Gross, let's not talk about it.

The girls are eating it.

- How can they eat it? - Stop talking and eat up!

Don't play with the food! Finish your meals, OK?

And you, where's your meal?

- You lunch is paid for, isn't it? - Yes.

Yes?

Well, your mom probably didn't pay for two slices of bread.

Why didn't you get a meal?

- Because… - Because?

I'm not hungry.

Don't tell me you're only going to eat dry bread.

At least try it.

Hm?

Go on, bring a plate.

You know, they're only kids…

You can't expect them to discipline themselves.

You have to set the rules.

Of course, it's hard at first, it was hard for me, too.

- One of the hardest things. - I want to get to know them.

And that's why I thought we should talk and play.

- Juci, is this class 5/c again? - Yes.

Oj veh!

It'll be okay, you just have to grab them firm. Right from the start.

I'm trying...

Then don't play games and such.

You go in, show them that you mean business.

Pop quiz.

- But... - Start with that.

- You're younger than their parents. - 10 words - if they miss 4, they fail.

- Didn't you hate pop quizzes as a kid? - Sure I did.

Why, Ildikó, you start every class with a test?

No, but they wouldn't dare to make a sound in my class.

- I go in, I get the report, we get ahead. - You must get through the curriculum.

Yes, Eszter, these are your methods, and the kids are terrified of you.

- Terrified… right… - We know.

She's still the one they turn to...

Seriously, you're going to tell me whether kids are terrified of me?

- That's what I've heard. - You want to get into that?

Of whom they're terrified and of whom they're not?

- Don't get upset. - Okay then don't start...

I'd say she has authority. That's not intimidation.

- Can I say something? - No.

- Sure. - Okay, so, which one?

- Fine, say it. - I get it... No, it's nothing…

But Kornél, I hate when you do this, you start a sentence and never finish.

Why did you even ask then?

- Sure, whatever. - It's so typical.

If you start by playing games with them, you're done.

Just don't blame yourself, this is very important.

It's not your fault, it's theirs.

Be playful, but stern. That's how I would do it.

Alright, I'm off.

By the way, I have class with them, so, I'll have a word with them.

Right.

God damn it.

Unbelievable! I don't know how other people do this!

They always cancel sports practice at the last moment.

How the hell am I supposed to… I have afternoon classes.

I can't pick him up earlier…

Do you want me to take over for you? I'd be happy to.

Good morning!

- Good morning, Miss! - Aww...

Good morning!

- Are you doing good? - Nooo!

- Oh yeah? - Very bad!

Okay, how about playing a game?

Yay!

Please stand up.

I want you to tap on your desks while stomping your feet!

Stomp away!

And now, everyone scream! Okay?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Excuse me for interrupting the class,

but I heard very strange noises.

Sorry, we were just playing a little game.

Mm-hm, I see.

Can I ask what subject this is?

- Literature. - Literature.

Good, carry on, just more disciplined.

Thank you, goodbye.

Goodbye.

Don't laugh!

Hello, son, whoa-whoa!

- Where are you going? - To class.

Doesn't matter, but where did you come in?

- Through the door. - That's the exit.

Go out and come in through the entrance.

Go out and come through that door.

What's so hard to understand?

Wonderful.

Order is the soul of everything.

- Hi, tell me your name, please. - Palkó.

- Which class? - 5/c.

- Why? - You are late.

It's past 45.

It's only 46.

You're still late.

Fine.

Your test results were disastrous. I think you know that.

If you had checked the answers.

It is such an important part and so beautiful, too,

it's about bees and flowers and pollination.

I don't even understand why you don't know all this.

Therefore, I will test you until everyone knows it inside and out.

Let's see who's going to be the first to take the oral exam.

Who should it be?

Palkó.

Do you know why I picked you?

I hope you studied more,

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw your test.

Let's hear it. The parts of the flower.

The flower consists of

the pistil and the uh

the anthers...

The stamen.

The stamen is made of the anther and the filament.

The pistil is made of the stigma, the style,

the ovule and the ovaries and um…

How do we call it all together?

Carpel...

Carpel.

Yes, I heard that, too. Fruzsi, don't help him.

You'll have your turn, then you can say what you know.

Yes? What do we have outside?

The stem.

The sepal, and uh…

Uhh...

Umm...

Sepal, and?

The petals.

Wonderful.

But not every flower because we saw the lily, which has?

It has…

Tepals?

Alright, how is the pollination done?

How will the pollen get to the stigma?

"Hello, anybody home?"

I can't think of an easier question.

You should know this like a recital.

Okay, leave it then...

A rescue question then:

The cabbage. Go.

Turn him over.

Quickly.

Lay him down.

- I got a pulse! - Heart is beating.

- Okay. - His leg? Is it injured?

Did he hit his head?

Wait, I'll get the injection that they gave us the other day.

I don't see anything.

- Do you have the injection? - I just gave him a shot.

- Pulse's still stable. - Was it the right kind?

Yeah, yeah, I got one, only you got two the other time.

- Is there something with his leg? - Nope.

- His hands? - It's not moving.

There is something with his hand.

It's not moving.

Pulse still stable.

Oh my god…

Come on!

Let's go!

God!

Good one, Palkó!

Excuse me, is there another copy of this book?

We only have what you find on the shelves. That's all.

I'm looking for a poem and…

You couldn't find it?

It's not in the shorter edition and it was torn out from this one.

- That actual poem? - Yes.

Here, at the school library, this is all we have.

Perhaps you'll find it at the public library.

Okay, thank you.

You're welcome.

Hi, kids!

Good morning!

I brought you a computer, because the other was broken, and,

you can use this if you want to look up something.

Can we play video games?

Can we play video games?

Sorry?

Can we play video games?

No, you can use it to look something up.

- Today, we'll learn about Sándor Petőfi. - Noo!

Boring!

- No! - Not Petőfi!

How about not sitting at your desks today?

- Yeeeah! - Shall we sit on the floor?

- Can we sit on the desk? - Sure!

Let me ask you, have you heard of Sándor Petőfi?

- Yes, unfortunately. - You have?

He was a poet!

Oh yeah? Which of his poems do you know?

- My Mother's Hen! - Oh yeah?

- Did you like it? - Yes.

My father's hen!

Is this a joke?

The National Song, he wrote it at the... I don't remember which café.

- Pilvax! - Yes, Pilvax Café!

I don't like him, cos I'm sure we'll have to learn a lot of his poems.

Why did he write so many?

He had many thoughts.

Still, why write all of them down?

- When you grow up, how will you use this? - You can't!

I think it will enrich your soul, don't you?

If he was here, what would you ask him?

- Why did you write so many poems? - How did you die?

- What would you want to know? - Nothing.

- Nothing? - To know who he was?

- Who? - And how would you find that out?

Just, who are you?

Who are you?

What's your real story?

- Do you know about his love? - No.

- I know! - Tell us!

- So they were in that café. - Yes?

And he was hanging out, and then,

and then this girl walked in, and he fell in love with her right away.

- Love at first sight? - Yes… As soon as he saw her.

Could you imagine being a revolutionary?

No! No-No-No!

- No! - I would die!

I would go to war for my country.

But what was this revolution about?

- Our country. - The fight.

The fight?

- Freedom fight. - It was more about defending the country.

About freedom.

Yes, about freedom.

I'm going to read a poem to you, okay?

Okay.

It's a poem in which he wrote down what he really thought of himself.

What's the title?

The Wild Flower of Nature.

Don't bark at me, don't you bite me Leave me be you vile dogs!

Cool.

I'll throw you a meat so bony You'll just give out dreaded chokes.

Go and trim your greenhouse plants, Wilted shoots and sprouts so weak;

I'm a wildflower of nature Untamed, free, and unrestrained.

Poetry I did not learn from Teachers holding heavy rods,

My spirit would never bend to School rules and restraining locks.

Rules are for those who are scared To step into the world unchained.

I'm a wildflower of nature, Untamed, free, and unrestrained.

I do not bloom for your sake You estranged, squeamish nincompoops!

Ah, your weak and spoiled stomach Only sickness would conduce;

Healthy taste still welcomes me And my verse they appreciate.

I'm a wildflower of nature Untamed, free, and unrestrained.

So just let me be in peace And never disturb me again;

Just like water off a duck's back Your efforts are all in vain.

Come on at me if you want, But be warned that you'll be pained:

I'm a wildflower of nature, thorny, prickly, unrestrained.

- Did you like it? - Uh, yes.

What do you mean?

I liked how he speaks his mind.

Not like, as he writes,

that others, who are following rules.

He rebelled, yes.

He didn't do what the teacher asked him to do,

or what was expected of him.

But he was a rebel soul, you can tell.

About what Léna said,

he wasn't afraid of ending up in jail, or something.

He still speaks his mind.

Yes, this was very important: if he didn't like something, then he

he bravely wrote it down and expressed it.

Or maybe, back then, it was bad if you expressed your opinion.

Isn't it still a problem today?

Well… sometimes yes, sometimes no, it depends on what the opinion is about.

I liked the expression "thorny wild flower".

- Why do you like that? - Well, it's like...

Others wouldn't say it like that.

That's what we call a metaphor.

I know, metaphor.

- Metaphor? - Yes.

- Would you tell us another? - Another poem?

Yes!

- Miss Juci? - Yes.

I'm Marci's dad. Do you have two minutes?

Sure, but we have a PTA tomorrow, and...

You must've misheard me. Do you have two minutes?

I won't come to the PTA, I have time now, that's why I'm here.

I asked you politely, I'd even say nicely if you had two minutes.

- Do you? - Sorry. Of course.

I'd like to know, are you satisfied with my son?

- Very! - Is he doing well?

Yes, yes.

- Does he know the poem? - Yes.

Why does he know the poem, that he shouldn't have to,

and doesn't know the one he should?

The kid recited the poem. We're all proud and happy,

then opened the textbook and couldn't find it anywhere.

He said, it was Miss Juci who said we should learn this one.

I asked, "Why don't you learn the one in the book?"

- He couldn't answer. - Yes, there was one time, but...

I felt that it was much more related to what we were discussing.

Do you know my son wants to go to a 6-year high school?

- And that we want him to get accepted? - Of course.

Why don't you help him? And do your job like you're supposed to?

- We don't... - Imagine my surprise when I got home,

maybe a day before yesterday, my wife says,

"The kid's notebook is empty!"

Of course I got pissed off at her too, for only noticing in November, but anyway!

That's not why I'm here! But still, why is his notebook empty?

Uh...

We don't always write there.

That's fine, but you didn't write anything in there!

My wife told me that most parents are not satisfied.

Probably for the same reason I'm here now.

Because they're chatting and playing. But I'm not happy about that.

Neither are the others.

Don't practice on my son, don't experiment on the kids!

I thought the right thing to do was to come and tell you this.

I could have gone to the principal, or the school district.

- Yes, thank you for that. - I didn't want to.

No, no, thank you for telling me.

Come, this is the window in question.

I see what the problem is. But I'll have to disappoint you.

And I'll tell you why.

Unfortunately, I can't get a replacement for this window.

The glass factory producing these worked in the '80s.

They no longer make this type of glass nowadays.

I can't get glass that will fit in this window sash.

I can't cement this window; I can't remove the glass clamping slats.

This Tessauer window was very popular in Hungary in the '80s,

it was the first insulating window.

And if we put a different kind of window in it?

No, we can't put in a different glass.

The only one way to repair this, is by replacing it.

Which brings in another problem.

I can't replace just this one window alone.

- Pardon? - I can't replace this window.

- But... - It's a lined structure.

I'd have to take all the windows from wall to wall.

That's the only way to replace it.

- You mean... all five? - Yes, all five.

To change just one is not possible.

Because this is a lined structure.

- But only one... - They are stacked in a line.

But only this one is broken.

But they are stacked in a line.

I can't fix it alone - the spare parts have been unavailable

for at least 30 years.

Okay, and...

- How much would it cost... - The complete replacement?

This is the disappointing part: at least 5 thousand euros.

And that's without calculations. Just a quick estimate.

- 5 thousand EUR? - At least.

Is there any other solution?

I don't see any other solution.

Well...

I'm only willing to do professional work, you have to understand, so...

I couldn't go for a kludge solution.

- I see. - I'm sorry.

The only way is by replacing the whole thing.

Péter, couldn't we temporarily at least… -No, we couldn't.

But couldn't we, considering that it's a school.

At least until the end of the school year… -Yes, yes.

Until the end of the semester, if

if it could hold it with a 3-4 divided plexiglass boards, perhaps…

Flóri, honestly, would you do it if it was yours?

But it's a school, there are children here, draught...

At least we could prevent that. And get some light in.

- No... - That would be good.

I know, professionally this is definitely not a solution, but

the school could catch its breath so to speak and raise some money…

We either replace it all or nothing.

Peter lives 1 kilometers and 375 meters from school…

One kilometer, three hundred… Oh dear, that's quite far.

Write down he should take the bus, so he won't have to walk.

Are you stuck?

Do you want me to help?

This is not easy, that's for sure.

These vowels, right?

And the consonants. Mm-hm.

They're mixed up. Do you know how you can tell the difference?

The vowels can be pronounced on their own.

They don't need other sounds.

Aaa, Ooo… You just open your mouth, and the sound comes out.

If you remember the word DIALOGUE it has all five vowels in it.

Are you hungry?

Sleepy?

We can go home soon and then you can eat.

Okay, so write down every sound that don't require moving your mouth.

Okay? Let me know if you get stuck.

What's going on here, art class? You have homework from art?

Kids!

We will have outdoors activities.

Oh, great!

Which means that Mr. Ákos organized the annual obstacle race.

Obstacle race… We have to run 50 km back and forth,

and then they make us run up Mount Everest.

It's too much for a kid.

So, I'd like to ask volunteers,

to draw the team logos.

- Orsi and Hermina will help me… - No, Palkó, don't!

Palkó, please, don't, you know that this can't...

- Palkó, please… - Put it down, Palkó.

I suggest you come up with the name of your team together…

- What name do we want? - 'Faggy Bears'.

What?

What should it be?

- Strong Stevens. - Stevie from the Block.

Stevie from the Block.

If we enter the race, at least let's have a good name.

Everyone can choose from two options to start the sentence.

One is, "Today, I'm happy that…".

And the other one is, "Today, I'm sad, because…".

Who wants to start?

Go ahead.

Today I am happy because, I could chat with my friend before school.

Luca?

Today, I am sad because we had to study a lot.

- Good morning! Hi kids! - Good morning, Sir!

Juci, just one sec..

Yes?

I'd need… just for a minute, I don't want to interrupt you…

I need Józsi, Palkó and Attila.

- Has something happened? - I'll tell you later.

Józsi, Attila, Palkó, come here please.

Which one of you came up with this filthy disgusting idea?

You know what I'm talking about, right?

I've been in this school for 25 years and I've never seen anything like this.

What is this filth?

Huh?

You want to ridicule the race?

You want to make fun of me?

How dare you?

Who's responsible for this?

Hm?

I want to know whose idea it was!

Which one of you?

None of you can take responsibility? And you call yourselves men?

Doing stupid things, these disgusting pranks,

but not taking the responsibility...?

Palkó!

This won't fly in this school.

We have rules here that you must respect.

You better start behaving

because there will be serious consequences.

A written warning by the principal.

And we will call your parents in.

And then, you can explain to them why you did this.

Understood?

Judit, I love you, but you barely take on substitutions.

I do, I just ask one thing, I know it's hard to arrange

to have a substitute, but until 2 p.m. If that works...

If someone could take the afternoon, I'd like to ask...

She doesn't want to work after 2 p.m!

Excuse me, Gábor, but the other day, I was sent in to substitute an IT class,

and I basically couldn't turn on the computer,

and it was embarrassing.

I have something to add to that, as a music teacher,

I couldn't step in for a chemistry class, not even with help.

I don't even have time for my own class. None!

I get it, I know. Obviously, we take into account everyone's subject.

I cannot guarantee that we can always work it out.

Unfortunately, we have to substitute more than before,

and I'd like to ask everyone to share the burden.

Because you know there is a teacher-shortage.

OK, you can count on me, because

I have two free periods on Wednesdays and Fridays, so…

- We have to make a list of that… - Thank you!

- Is there any other matter? - Zsuzsi!

- Zsuzsi has something important. - Yes, I want to talk about something.

- Yes? - There is this alley-way stray cat.

You've lured it to the school, you kept feeding it.

You gave him water, you cuddled it.

Who, us?

Somebody…

The problem is that this cat has never seen a vet.

It might be full of germs that are dangerous to us.

Bacteria, virus, parasites!

And the worst is the parasite of toxoplasmosis,

which a cat can carry latently!

That's only dangerous if you're pregnant.

Math teacher! The parasite can live on you latently nonetheless.

Get a biology book and read it.

And you should talk to a doctor, sweetie, OK?

OK, thank you very much.

- We will keep an eye out! - OK!

Thanks for the info. We hear you. Is there anything else?

- Gábor! - Yes?

I already told you I wanted to say a few words.

It's about the obstacle race.

- You're doing it great! - It's always great!

You're very kind, I'm flattered, but uh...

I have an issue that I want to share with you.

You know we had four teams this year, and each team could pick their own name.

Three of the teams were able to do so, each choosing cute names.

The fourth team, Palkó's team, however,

picked a name that I really can't tolerate.

And is that the issue Ákos? Their choice of name?

- That's the problem! - What was the name?

- Doesn't matter. - Are you going to tell us?

Doesn't matter… It was a pun, which was not funny at all.

- Come on! - Tell us!

We can't discuss it if we don't know.

- Come on, tell us! - Aren't you going to tell us?

- Anida Dickenme! That's their name! - Why? That's a real name, isn't it?

It's as if you said...

- OK, OK, I get it now. - You know!

Ákos, just a question. You said it was Palkó's team…

So is it the team's responsibility...

No, Palkó was the one who came up with the name.

- The team just accepted it. - He doesn't even speak fully Hungarian.

Yes, but...

He doesn't understand these nuances, don't jump to conclusions.

Come on, Ákos, don't do this. He's just a kid.

It might seem like a little thing now, but what's next?

You know how he is,

they might tag the entire school with, you know…

- Cocks. - Cocks, thank you.

And where does it end?

I think we should draw the line here.

- OK, then what do you want? - I thought of a disciplinary procedure.

- Are you kidding? - That's fair!

It's a little too much, don't you think?

Is this for real?

I really hope not…

You've never said it, Ákos?

As a kid, you never said it?

- Yes, we also said Uranus, yeah. - Yes, and so what?

So what if the next name will be fuck dick, will you like that, too?

- No, because that's stupid. - How far are we willing to go?

We have to draw the line somewhere.

He's demoralizing the other kids around him.

Come on... He's just a kid. Gábor, please, tell him.

The chief bull is eyeing closely his old nemesis

and the quick showdown begins.

Józsi!

Józsi!

Where is Attila?

What is he doing here?

I don't know.

Hello.

Hello.

Uh...

I don't have to tell you, you know why I have asked you to come in.

A little distance would be better in the coming weeks…

Equilateral triangle? What do we know about it?

- All angles and sides are equal. - Good.

- Attila! Józsi? - And uhh…

Palkó!

Luca will wipe the board for us!

- Józsi, Attila? - If she has dyscalculia,

- she can at least wipe the board. - Say something!

Alright.

Palkó, please!

Who's logging his black points?

He can have one nice, big black point.

Let's see… 180°.

Palkó!

Alright.

All angles measure 60°. Hurry up!

Józsi!

Palkó! That's enough!

Get out!

Where?

To the corridor, my dear, chop chop!

Okay, that's fine, sit down.

- You have your notebooks? - Yes!

Palkó! Hello?

Miss! Palkó's not here!

- What do you mean, he's not here? - He's not outside.

Palkó!

Unbelievable, seriously!

Palkó!

Oh, for God's sake.

Palkó!

Palkó!

- Palkó! - Palkó!

- Palkó! - Palkó!

- Palkó! - Palkó!

Palkó!

- Palkó! - Palkó!

Do you see the one that's covered with a sheet?

The sheeted window... See the second floor? The red curtain…

From the red curtain it's the... 1,2,3,4... 5th.

That window just fell out all of a sudden, right here.

It smashed to smithereens. Luckily, there were no children around.

- For now, I covered it... - You put up that sheet?

- Yes, I teach arts and crafts, so I… - You fixed it.

This is against the rules, do you know that?

If Disaster Management sees this...

That's not...

Did you at least lock the door? If a minor is allowed in that classroom...

It's dangerous.

That is why I called you, so we can solve this problem.

- So, that... So... - I see.

So we get money, we can replace the windows right away.

You need to send in an application!

Can you do that for us?

No!

It's you, who needs to apply. The school submits the application.

Why don't I replace the window myself, while I'm at it?

Okay, I can apply.

I submit the application to you and then, we're good to go, right?

- If I'm correct. - Yes.

- Yes. - Good.

And this...

So I get the money in a few days, and I could call the repair guy?

No, that is not how it works.

That you just submit the application and the repair crew comes the next day.

No, first, we have to investigate

how that window fell out exactly, you know?

There is a difference if it fell out because one of the students pushed it,

then it is the parents' liability.

They will have to pay for the repair, instead of the school district.

And then, it's not our responsibility.

No-no-no!

No, it was not a student, it was due to material fatigue.

Well, you need to apply then.

Yes, OK.

Yeah.

Palkó, I know you wanna go out, but...

The sooner we finish this, and I'll help you,

- the sooner you can go out, OK? - OK.

It's not my fault you are in detention.

Come on, let's write it down.

"King".

Good job.

Palkó, do you know why you were punished?

- Yes. - Why?

Because I was talking and misbehaving.

- You do know you can't talk during class. - Why?

Because it might disturb the others.

Why?

Because they want to pay attention.

But I was bored.

I know, but... Sometimes you have to pay attention even if it's boring.

Hm?

Let's do this.

We're almost done. "River".

Palkó, do you know what a disciplinary procedure is?

No.

No?

- You haven't heard of it? - No.

Alright.

Write down "To walk"...

I don't know -Well, exactly.

They have to give a reason. I can't believe this.

This is absurd. Why would they fire Kornél of all people?

He's a good colleague and all. But did he do something? Or what?

Do what? He's the best teacher, that's what he did.

He must've been in someone's way.

- It's terrible! - But why?

- I think he's a member of some NGO. - Yes, he posted something on Facebook.

- Who are you talking about? - Kornél!

But they can't fire someone just for being a member of an NGO.

Where is he now?

Last I saw him, he was in the teachers' room, correcting exams.

- So he doesn't even know yet? - I don't think so.

- Oh my God! - I don't get it, for what?

- Without any precedent? - Exactly!

Kornél.

Yes?

I have to give you this letter from the school district...

That's what they told me.

Nelli, do you know what this is?

Is this a joke?

It's serious, unfortunately. They don't joke around with this.

I'm very sorry.

Did you know about this?

Yes?

No!

So what does "effective immediately" mean?

What does that mean?

I don't know, I wasn't given any information…

- OK, but I have class. - I'm sorry?

I have class.

We'll manage somehow.

I can't believe this...

Just like that. An entire career.

Is this for real?

All over… with one stroke of a pen.

He's coming!

Here he comes!

Hi, what's this?

It's a circle.

Why do you need a circle?

Just because. This is my circle.

- Palkó, what are you doing? - Why can you be in there?

What's going on?

- This is my circle! - He won't let us in.

- What are you doing? Can we come in? - No!

Palkó, let us in.

Let us come in.

Get out of here!

This belongs to the school, not you.

Stop pushing, cut it out!

Stop it already!

Go away!

Get out of here now!

Hey! Attila! Get off! Stop this!

This stops right now.

Get up! Thanks, Juci, I'll handle it.

- Don't bother... - I'm taking them to the principal, Juci.

- Sorry. - I can take them.

- No, no, I've got it from here. Thanks. - They are in my class.

OK.

What were you thinking?

How can you behave like that?

- What's gonna happen to them? - They'll have a word with them.

This is unacceptable!

We do not fight with each other in this school,

nor in any other school, for that matter.

Palkó, you already have a disciplinary procedure…

If you get another warning, you might even get expelled.

Which school will take you in after this?

If they find out how you behave?

I don't ever want to hear about another fight.

Understood?

- Eww.. - That's horrible.

- Do you think it's the same cat? - Yes.

Don't you see the tail? It has that thing on it…

Oh yeah, I see it.

Poor thing…

I saw it just the other day in the yard.

Something's dripping from its nose.

It was always in the yard, that's the problem.

- Maybe it's some infection. - Or maybe it was poisoned.

For sure!

- I'm so sorry! - Yeah right, you're sorry.

It threw up.

It's not recent, it probably died last night, right?

- Does it matter when it died? - It's all stiffened up.

- Shouldn't we get it out of here? - Yes, we should!

- Who will… - I'll pick it up, let's put it in a bag.

- No, don't touch it! - Not with this!

They use it to mop the floor.

We'll call the vet, they have a service.

- They take it and cremate it for 15 EUR. - Then let's call them!

It's almost recess and all the kids will come out.

Good thing the kids did not see it!

Zazu!

Marci.

Misi.

Demi.

Dani.

Luca.

Léna.

Mása.

Hanga.

Fruzsi.

Lana.

Gergő.

Blanka.

Nati.

Should we leave him or take him?

Palkó! What did we agree on? What did I tell you?

Hm?

We agreed...

We agreed that you would collect these balls.

You could have learned by now,

that if I ask you for something, you have to do it.

Do you hear me?

Are you deaf? Do you want me to go there?

Palkó! Pick up the balls!

Do I have to raise my voice again? Do you want me to shout?

Or will you finally collect them? Come on, get up!

What's it gonna be?

Palkó.

Why do you think that rules don't apply to you?

That everything revolves around you?

Are you mute? You're not so chatty now?

That's it, son. Don't make me pick you up!

If you can't collect the balls, then you'll do three laps of bunny hops.

Do you know what bunny hops are?

You crouch, jump forward. Give me three laps now!

This is your punishment. Understood? Do it.

Come on!

Go! Three laps of bunny hops! Get down!

What are you doing?

Bunny... hop!

Ákos.

Who pissed you off? You're red as a rose!

Your blood pressure must be up!

Guess who!

Let me calm down a little, Zsuzsi.

- OK, drink some water. - I could use something stronger.

Juci!

- Ákos, you're mad as hell. - Juci!

I need a little help.

- The costume party is today. - Yes?

Only a few teachers signed up as chaperones.

Could we count on you this evening?

Can you stay for a while? The party is from 5 to 8.

Sure.

- How long can you stay? - The whole time.

You can stay the whole time? Wonderful, thank you!

First, they'll have some games, then they perform the play...

Then, a dance party at the end. OK?

Thank you very much.

But you are always so patient.

Bunnies must be outside, too…

They can't spend their lives in a cage.

Yeah so, he had some in his cage...

Fortunately, he didn't eat it.

He wouldn't eat the straw…

But it's not food for bunnies,

they only chew on it to wear down their teeth.

- So he didn't swallow it. - Yeah. Right.

But he really likes these…

- So, you want to tell him? - Sure.

Well, yes.

I don't know if that's the best idea.

The problem is, even if you tell him, nothing will happen.

He won't fire him.

I don't want him to get fired, I just want something to happen.

At least someone should have a talk with him.

Something has to be done.

Problem is, that your gonna come out on the wrong end of this.

- Not necessarily. - Yes.

You will be the person who

just arrived to the school and ratted on his colleague.

You'll have to walk around school known as the one who did this.

I'll figure it out. But this boy has a disciplinary hearing.

Everyone hates him, and he didn't do anything.

You should focus on what would happen to you.

Try to focus on the longer perspective.

But it bothers me!

I get it. By the way.

Okay, I get it, too, but this is not about me.

But it is about you!

It is very much about you! They just fired Kornél… You know...

You have to think about yourself and not always try to save the world,

because nothing, nothing will happen.

Have you seen?

He's here!

He's in the camp!

He just rode in!

- How did he seem? - He seemed angry.

Oh no! Jesus!

He just got off his horse!

He's coming! He's here!

Blush then, with all your might.

We're sorry, Commander.

For a handful of bold Spaniards

defy our siege proudly, defending their Numantian nest.

We beg your forgiveness!

They've been flaunting their resistance for over 16 years!

Sadly.

Vaunting to hold up, with firm grip, the Roman troops.

What a peril!

It's time to change tactics.

If we can't breach the wall, we shall breach their souls!

- Ingenious. - We'll let them stew in their own juice.

Very well.

With a deep wide ditch, we'll grid them round,

And hunger will strike them down eventually.

What an idea!

Grab pickaxe and shovel, instead of arms!

Yes, Sir!

Hack and dig,

be covered in dust, instead of the Spanish enemy's blood.

Right away, Commander!

Oh Heavens, lofty, vast, serenely grand,

Have grace for the Spanish in pain,

Strengthen his arm, put swords in his hand,

for its people have endured enough.

Or is this their destiny to be?

Since sons of Spain are foes at heart, and brothers but in name,

It is Numantia, and only she, Whose life will dearly sell,

Unsheathing her sword, defends liberty, she loves so well.

Who knows what will be their fate?

They hold their ground, but the walls are weak.

No in or out, endless stalemate.

To the assault, soon they'll have to cede.

Where to, my friend, Morandro?

I wish I could pluck this foolish lover's whim from your head!

But if you can't find any fault in what I do

then why reproach me for my love?

You know how many years I was mad for Lyra's sake,

and when finally the stars aligned in our favor

this wretched war broke out, diminishing our hope.

There will be no wedding until there is battle.

The sounds of festivity can't drown the war clamor.

Morandro, my friend, try to find peace of mind.

Help will come through and everything will be fine.

My mother left me behind!

My mother left me behind!

She didn't know what awaited me.

She didn't know what awaited me.

She wants to know how I'm doing.

She wants to know how I'm doing.

I cannot tell her all the truth!

I cannot tell her all the truth!

Valiant brothers, the hunger torments and drives me into Roman arms:

we should surrender at last and accept the eternal yoke of slavery.

Do you have any idea how we might escape this predicament?

What would be of greater glory than our souls to part with our flesh

as we storm the Roman troops and fight until our last breath!

Let's breach the enemy's barrier then!

Better to die heroically in battle

than waiting, besieged, to be slaughtered like cattle.

Let's fight the enemy, with arms or even with bare hands.

But if our women should find out I'm sure this plan will not stand.

Here they come to make their appeal,

pleading not to be left to their ill fate,

their cries will melt your hearts of steel.

We know what you don't say, that the Roman troops you want to slay.

You want to leave this life in battle, but with that, you'll leave us

forsaken to slavery, disgrace and death.

We'd rather you sink your swords first in our bosoms,

thus sparing us from serving enemy lords.

Warriors, what do you say?

Have you still the thought unkind thus to leave us all behind

thus to leave us all behind and go forward to the fray?

Dry your tears We feel your pain, we hear your fears,

our hearts are overflowing with love.

We can't have the Romans win and celebrate their victory,

As witnesses - or even aids,

they should help immortalize our name.

Make a fire in the middle of the square,

hurl into the flames all, without a care,

the poorest and the richest thing as well.

Let's go, hurry, go on, let's go!

Let it all burn, leave nothing to loot.

Where to, why so sad, Lyra, What is the matter?

I'm afraid the hunger will soon devour my life.

Lyra, dry your teary eyes, your fate is not to starve!

- I'll leap the ditch! - Morandro!

- I'll climb the wall! - Do not go!

- Snatch the bread from Roman hands. - I'm afraid!

And put it in yours.

I don't want to see the enemy's blade with your red blood stained.

Lyra, farewell my love!

Our season of grief is over soon.

Death is on its way to take us

on speedy wings to our doom, along with whatever Numantia has.

What a cruel fate! But we must die before the enemies reach the gate.

Our own executioner, we must be, so there is no chance at giving in.

Women, children and elderly! The oppressor made our lives the stake!

Should we throw it to them proudly or let hunger starve it to death?

What is it my eyes behold?

Him whom soon you won't, for much longer I cannot hold.

What say you, Morandro dear?

Here's the bread, well-guarded by thousands of the enemy,

It cost the precious life of two faithful friends.

Since you stayed by my side in trouble and in joy,

take my body, as you have once taken my soul.

O Morandro, sweetest one, What is it, what do you feel?

How did you lose so quickly now your mighty strength of steel?

Is there any greater pain to see my lover dead?

You broke out of the siege only to delay my end, in vain

for now my life is forever lost.

Oh, you blood-stained bread, blood so freely shed for me,

how could I eat a bite, instead of food, it's poison I see.

I carry you to my mouth, not to find nourishment,

but to kiss once more that dear blood that was spent.

Rather will I give my breast point of dagger, than this bread.

Am I a coward? Can it be?

Arm of mine, what do you fear?

Sweetest husband, lover dear, I am coming, wait for me!

From land to land let my clear voice extend,

and with its sweet and melodious sound fill the souls with ardent passion

to make this deed eternally renowned.

No need to sing of other themes,

this will last till the end of times:

courage, perseverance, and strength supreme.

Good, scoot a bit over, you in the middle row, great!

A bit more, a bit more, please! Very good!

Say cheese! Super!

You, Miss? Don't you want join them for a photo?

No.

- Yeah! - I'm just substituting.

- Come! - But you're still their class teacher.

Fine, just one photo.

Very good, we'll take one like this…

Yes, super, and now a silly one!

Together with your teacher, yeah.

You can be silly, too, Miss! Great.

Super! I'll take one from here.

Great!

One more, even sillier!

Miss, be silly, too!

What is he doing?

Where is he going?

He can't run in the hallway, the principal will catch him.

It's his problem.

Are you waiting for the cat?

Can I stay?

Good evening, everyone, thank you all for coming.

The most important issue I'd like to discuss is the school trip.

After some consideration...

It's best if we organized several one-day excursions,

instead of one long sleepover trip.

And I'd like to discuss what you think of it.

It's completely different - to sleep somewhere,

or just go on a half-day excursion. You can't compare the two.

The whole year, Gergő has been looking forward to this event.

And to announce that it's cancelled…

- It doesn't work. - Also in terms of team building...

We're in the 5th grade, it's important for them, to strengthen their bonds.

A single event may not deepen their bond as a multi-day sleepover program.

If it's not a secret, what is the reason behind this?

- Actually, there are several factors… - But we are the parents, we should know…

It was just an idea, to simplify things.

Excuse me, I hear your arguments, but I think that when we were kids,

and went to to play in the city park, it was just as much fun as a sleepover.

Can't we still consider this option?

It's not just as much fun, though…

You only start to really know someone when you move in together.

- But we still haven't heard the reason. - Yes.

There are many reasons, but mostly cost efficiency…

What does that mean?

This doesn't cost a penny for the school.

It's paid by us, and everyone is preparing for this since September.

It's not an unexpected cost. Is there someone who can't afford it?

- Yes. - It's simple, they shouldn't go then.

That's right.

- I wouldn't find that fair. - That is not a solution.

- I'm willing to come forward, sorry. - So that's the reason?

I told her that we can't afford it.

Why should my child miss out on every trip because of financial reasons?

- For several years now. - You need to prepare.

I would've taken a second job or something.

I work 12 hours a day, when should I take on another job?

I manage everything in my life. And this is no exception.

You probably do it better than me, I can't manage.

- Everyone can manage. - No, not everyone can.

- Yes, everyone can! It's nonsense… - I can't manage.

Then go to a different school or to social services, or whatever.

What do you mean a different school? Which one?

You were supposed to prepare!

If we have been preparing for this since September,

then I put aside to it, or something.

Your finances are your business.

But we knew about this cost.

Don't you get it that I can't put aside from nothing?

Do I have to spell it out for you?

Is this how it will be until they graduate?

They can't go to a school trip in any year?

Or are you gonna tell our kids after three months that the trip is off?

Is it a decent thing to let us know at the last moment?

Exactly, thank you! Why the last moment?

It's not that I forgot, excuse me, I didn't forget!

You say I should manage it, like I was some kind of magician,

- I just snap my fingers, and Voilà! - No, it's not a "Voilà" thing!

That's not how this works!

That's why we discussed it at the beginning of the year.

To prepare!

Excuse me, I'd like to try to find a solution for this.

The school should manage somehow.

It's not fair to keep 30 kids at home... I'm sorry, it's not against you.

I talked to the principal and unfortunately, the school can't help.

So we were called here, and this meeting was set up

somewhat theatrically,

so that we would dig deeper into our pockets?

I don't need you to dig deeper for us.

Definitely not!

But you expect all the other kids to suffer because of your kid.

I don't expect anything, I just asked if it was possible to go to a trip

that I can afford, too.

So that my child could be a part of this community.

Then say it! Say that you're asking for money.

Why didn't you say this in September, I'd have paid up.

Asking from you? Or anyone?

- I've never accepted charity money! - I would've given you anonymously.

But that's what I hate the most.

I don't need charity from anyone!

What if instead of getting personal we would try to find a solution?

When I ask if we should pay for her, she tells me not to.

- Can't you see how you're humiliating me? - It's not humiliating.

You think your tone is not humiliating? The things you say with your mouth?

- I can only talk with my mouth, sorry. - It's about the children.

Exactly! It's about the children. It's important to them.

- You have no humanity! - I have an idea.

Dani really wants to go, I'm sure, and he would want a sleepover trip.

If that's what it takes for the whole class to go, I'm happy to help.

And I think there are others, too, who'd be willing to contribute.

Even anonymously!

Let's sort this out, so that everyone can go.

- That's very kind of you, thank you. - Yes, thank you.

I can't accept it. I might be poor, but I'm also proud.

- So, I, I... - I told you!

Then you really only came today to sabotage this meeting.

We've talked about being responsible. What if you go home,

and talk to your kids about the PTA,

and of course you'd tell them which kid is broke.

- Then they will bully him for years. - And I'm sorry, and thank you, but

by saying to my kid, "You're here, cos my dad paid for it!"

Somebody has to...

We're getting nowhere!

We propose option A, option B, but you don't like any of them.

Why did you have children then?

Don't have kids, then you don't have responsibilities and problems.

You can't have this opinion about me and my child,

since you have no idea about our lives.

You have no idea how I can or can't take care of my kid.

Maybe I'm doing ten times more for him than you even if I can't afford it.

It doesn't show!

Honestly, this is a situation,

which is none of your business, but I'll tell you anyway.

You plan a family, and you think that everything will be alright.

That is how I had all my children, with a husband.

He sadly died, it's not my fault.

It wasn't something that we could plan ahead.

I work 12 hours with five kids, you see...

I'm an honest worker, I don't sit at home!

So I can put food on the table,

since my other half is gone, who earned much more,

because as a woman, I'm paid less.

I couldn't pay my mortgage,

we had to rent an apartment, so we don't end up on the street.

Rent costs 450 EUR while I earn 600. I can't afford a school trip.

- Plus the family allowance… - Family allowance…

Sure, you love that idea, you keep talking about allowance.

That we only have kids to get the allowance.

For five kids, they give you 215 EUR,

for six of us, that's basically nothing.

But now, your problem has become everyone's problem.

I just don't want to live as a charity case,

depending on other people's good will.

Especially people, and I don't want to say names,

especially people who humiliate and patronize me...

I think if you have an ounce of decency,

you wouldn't accept it, neither would I, no one would.

Yes?

Hello, I'm Zoltán Takács, from the Nyéki-Németh School.

I submitted an application for the window replacement,

and I'd like to know who I could ask about the progress of our case?

Wait a moment, I'll check if I can put you through.

Hello?

Hi, sorry to disturb you, it's that annoying teacher again,

The window guy…

He's very persistent, so, do you want me to put him through, or...

Or should I shake him off, what do you want?

Hello? I'm Zoltán Takács…

- Marci? - I'm here.

- Mása? - I'm here.

- Attila? - Present!

- Dani? - Present!

Palkó?

Palkó?

Palkó?

What is it now?

Is this a new prank? Or what?

Why are you doing this?

Are you messing with me?

What is it?

Are you mute?

Hm?

At least you'll stay quiet, right?

Palkó, I heard that you're not talking to anyone.

Look at me!

You can tell me anything.

You know that you can trust me, right? Do you?

Do you?

Hm?

Has something happened?

Did anybody hurt you?

Palkó, if something like this happens to us,

we must share it with someone, you know?

You must speak up.

We have to talk to someone.

Please, say something!

Please!

You can go in now.

- Hi! - Hello, Juci.

- I have a kid in my class, who... - I'm busy, I'm sorry.

- Something has happened to him. - But... Juci!

Juci, you have to solve the issues of your class yourself.

It's your task, you're the class teacher!

I don't have time for this.

I understand, but…

It's a very tough situation, and I'm asking for help.

I'm not... Juci!

What part don't you understand from what I just said?

I said it was your responsibility as class teacher.

I have to deal with your students, with the parents,

I'll have to teach in second grade cos we don't have enough teachers!

This whole Kornél case is on me too.

I haven't eaten a bite today and I still have to call back three parents.

And it's always your class that has issues.

I simply don't get it.

It even occurred to me that

it was a bad idea to give you this class.

Because you seem to be incapable of managing them.

It's not my job as principal

to deal with each class and each student.

That's the class teacher's job.

Deal with it!

- Alright. - OK.

Thank you.

Bye!

What did he do now?

I've heard it from so many of you, but I never had a problem with him.

That's surprising, but good for you.

But you are too strict with him.

I don't think so, it's just that this kid

has been unable to adapt to this school since he arrived.

I'm sorry, but I can't work like this.

He basically ignores everything in my class…

Hey!

Are you OK?

You hit Palkó.

I'm talking to you, Ákos.

What are you talking about, Juci?

You pushed him down and hit him on the head.

- Are you crazy? - No.

What did you see?

This is really about this kid who just can't fit in.

Did you hear what I said? That he slapped him?

Hm?

But Juci, this is no way to behave.

You think this is OK? Or…

He laid a hand on a kid.

Don't you have anything to say?

Fine.

OK now, honey, you're just upset, it's been a long year. You'll calm down.

Hi!

Why aren't you talking? Are you OK?

Are you mad, sad, hungry, thirsty?

I actually like that you're not talking.

Palkó!

Palkó!

Palkó!

Come down! Palkó!

Have you heard anything about Marika?

Well, Nelli, she's fighting it.

Oh, poor thing.

It's already 11:40, it's lunch time! Zsuzsi!

- Let's go. - Nelli?

Sure, let's go.

- Let's go then, Hermina, you too. - OK, we'll finish this later!

- Now, you'll finish up later. - Alright, fine, I'm coming.

Do you know what's for lunch?

Meatball and pasta.

- Come on, already! Zsuzsi, come on! - Coming.

Hermina!

Palkó!

Palkó!

What happened?

How did he get up there?

Oh, my God! How did he climb up there?

Palkó, don't move!

Jesus, what happened?

- Palkó is up there. - You're kidding!

- I'll bring down that kid! - No, Ákos, don't be crazy!

Palkó!

Don't move, stay where you are!

- Don't yell at him, he'll fall. - Then what should I do?

- I don't know. - It's Palkó again!

Palkó, don't move!

It's gonna be alright.

- Kids, don't go so close. - Won't he fall?

No. No!

Boys, go to the gym class closet and bring out all the mattresses, OK?

Palkó's up there. He's not gonna fall...

Don't go so close!

Is he gonna die?

Here they are!

Here they are!

Yes! Here, this way!

Kids, move aside, give room to the firefighters.

You, too.

- We need some space here. - Step back!

Everyone, step back!

- Step back! - Come here!

- Bye. - Bye.

Hey, Miss, where to?

Don't take that, please.

But this is mine.

I don't know… Come back to the desk, please.

"This is mine..."

- How should I know that it's yours, Miss? - Well...

- Do you have some sort of a document? - No, I don't.

I can't let you leave with it.

But I brought it in.

I heard you, but I have no way of knowing that.

I only see that you want to take it out.

I don't know who brought it in, but I can't let it out.

- If you have proof that it's yours… - I don't have anything.

Then I'm really sorry. I'd be in trouble.

They'd fire me, while you'd have a computer.

It's just not worth it. Please, leave it here, okay?

I'm sorry.

I'll take good care of it, promise.

Goodbye.

Even she doesn't know where the fucking exit is.

- Laci, did you understand anything? - Not a word.

Not a word, huh? Me neither.

Let's go to the beginning. Try it like that.

And watch it step by step. Maybe we can do it like that.

The window is the same type as ours, right?

- Or similar. - Or similar, yes. Stop, stop it there!

Look!

Look at that thing in his hand!
