Starring four time Academy Award® nominee Saoirse Ronan, Bad Apples is loosely based on Rasmus Andersson’s debut novel De Oönskare.

Ronan plays Maria, a primary school teacher doing her best to inspire a class of 11-year-olds but unable to because of one unruly and chaotic student. With her career in question and the child’s behaviour spiralling, she makes a series of bad decisions that lead to her accidentally taking and locking this "bad apple” in her home.

She tries desperately 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.

Bad Apples on Tue 29 Sept is part of our Cinébites deal: get 30% off any main dish in the Café & Bar with a valid ticket for Club Shed members.
