Suck Me Shakespeer

Ex-convict Zeki Müller leaves prison with one goal: to recover the loot he buried before his time inside. The problem is that a new school gymnasium now stands on the spot where the money was hidden. To get close to it, Zeki applies for a job at the Goethe school, and a misunderstanding lands him not in the caretaker's post but in front of a class as a substitute teacher. He is given the school's most unruly group, and his unorthodox methods soon put him at odds with his colleague Lisi Schnabelstedt, a trainee teacher with a very different approach to the job. By night he digs in search of his money, while by day his feelings for the school and the people in it become harder to ignore.

The film is a German comedy directed by Bora Dagtekin, who also wrote the screenplay with Simon Hauschild. It followed his 2012 debut feature, Turkish for Beginners, and launched a series that continued with two further instalments in 2015 and 2017. Elyas M'Barek plays Zeki, with Karoline Herfurth as Lisi, Katja Riemann, Jana Pallaske, Alwara Höfels and Jella Haase among the supporting cast, across a credited cast of 57.
