The Saoirse Ronan-starring Bad Apples will screen as part of the Official Competition at the BFI London Film Festival in October, it has been announced.
The festival synopsis for Bad Apples says Irish star Ronan "plays a primary school teacher striving to inspire her students in Jonatan Etzler's darkly humorous and biting satirical comedy".
"Maria is trying her best, but her classes are constantly interrupted by one unruly, disruptive student," the synopsis continues.
"Without the support of her superiors, she is forced to take action, which escalates into a series of unfortunate events.
"Etzler creates a provocative, often unsettling portrait of a community that willingly looks the other way to serve its own interests."
Bad Apples will receive its world premiere at next month's Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
The full BFI London Film Festival programme will be announced on Wednesday 3 September.
The festival runs from Wednesday 8 October to Sunday 19 October.
