In Communist-era Bratislava, a teacher extorts favours from parents in exchange for academic favour for their children, in this movie that tells a wickedly funny, stomach-churningly unjust and supposedly true story while also commenting on authoritarian rule in pre-Velvet Revolution Czechoslovakia and making viewers wonder in the end if they themselves harbour the wicked self-interests of the comfortable and the privileged like The Teacher.
