Contents/Summary

Summary
This drama, set in Belgrade, revolves around a group of primary school teachers. As they all gather for the morning shift, the school’s female principle is informed that shy English teacher Gordana has filed a sexual harassment complaint against the principal’s deputy Bogdan and that a young inspector is coming to the school to investigate the charges. In addition, realizing that the cleaning lady is retiring the next day, the principal decides to throw a farewell party. Once he arrives at the school, the inspector does not get much cooperation from the faculty. Bogdan eventually confesses that he did have a relationship with Gordana but says that she invented the accusations because he caught her with another man. During the school performance, the inspector sneaks out to follow Gordana and discovers her half-naked with the gym teacher. Meanwhile, a high-ranking party official and the inspector’s boss arrive at the school party. They rule out the charges, but inform the principle that she has lost contact with her faculty and pupils and has to retire or otherwise the school will be closed down. Finally, a drunken teacher recites a poem about the workers who came to repair the house although nobody called them, as an allusion to what has just happened with the school.
