Saoirse Ronan stars in a dark comedy about a primary school teacher struggling with a chaotic classroom.

Maria is a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 11-year-olds, but she's unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student.

With her career in question and the child's behaviour spiralling, Maria makes a series of bad decisions that lead to her accidentally taking and locking this "bad apple" in her home. She is desperate to backtrack, but when the class starts flourishing and the staff and parents are thrilled with the improvement, she finds herself in a very complicated predicament.

As entertaining as it is provocative, Bad Apples challenges us to think about our society's systems and how we justify them to ourselves.
