Favoriten

Directed by Ruth Beckermann · starring Ilkay Idiskut

Synopsis

This documentary narrates the daily experiences of a group of children studying at a school in the Favoriten district of Austria. The documentary film follows the young students through the third grade of primary education, a key year for their learning and future career development. Furthermore, this project not only focuses on the academic problems of the students but also addresses the issues that the young people face in their personal lives and how these can pose significant obstacles to their overall development. Nevertheless, the children demonstrate all the power and talent they can possess when they receive the right support, in this case, from teacher Ilkay Idiskut, who educates them to have patience and camaraderie with their classmates while teaching the basic subjects appropriate for their grade.
