Bad Apples

In BAD APPLES, elementary school teacher Maria (Saoirse Ronan) is passionate and idealistic, but gradually worn down to the point of exhaustion and despair. With little support from authority figures and a student called Danny (Eddie Waller) who seems to go out of his way to cause trouble at every opportunity, she's stretched as far as her nerves will allow. When there's a situation outside of school that results in Maria stepping in to restrain Danny, she makes a spur-of-the moment decision that gradually spirals out of control.
