Teachers

A production centered on the modern university. What are its tasks - science and education, or shaping socio-political opinions? What happens when what an independent study reveals does not match the university's overall policy? For sociology professor Johanna, a study of workplace climate becomes a personal test. Faced with the university rector's wish to change the study's story/narrative, Johanna must ask herself questions about a scientist's personal responsibility and integrity.
