This is a really well worked film. The teacher at the centre of it is doing her job well, just the way she has for the last few years. But things have changed in the political environment, and things that used to be OK have been declared inappropriate.

The teacher thinks the change is regressive, and stands her ground, but soon loses the support of those around her, and those who stay in support find themselves being pressured in other ways.

To understand the film, it's useful to have some understanding of the political changes in Hungary and Romania at the time.

Overall it's well played out, and we strongly sympathised with the teacher in the central role. It's also a generic story looking at just one aspect of how an authoritarian regime works its restrictions into the society it seeks to control.
