A teacher shackles a disruptive student, restoring classroom order while creating moral and practical consequences.
In her first interview for the film, Ronan wasn't putting it on: There really isn't much like "Bad Apples," and that's a compliment. Consider two things: the film's short synopsis ("A primary school teacher [is] forced to take drastic action because of a foul-mouthed, violent student"), which doesn't sound exactly funny, and one of the main inspirations for Etzler casting the four-time Oscar nominee in a film that is, indeed, very funny.
