Nilam Farooq, Christoph Maria Herbst, Hassan Akkouch, Ernst Stötzner, Myriam Abbas, Mohamed IssaIn seiner Jura-Vorlesung hat Professor Richard Pohl (Christoph Maria Herbst) seine Studentin Naima (Nilam Farooq) rassistisch diskriminiert. Um seinen Fehler wieder auszubügeln, wird er vom Disziplinarausschuss dazu verdonnert, ihr bei einem wichtigen Debattierwettstreit als Mentor zur Seite stehen. Der Dozent und die Studentin könnten unterschiedlicher nicht sein, dennoch wachsen sie zu einem starken Team zusammen.
Basiert auf der erfolgreichen französischen Komödie „Le Brio“, die 2018 unter dem Titel „Die brillante Mademoiselle Neïla“ in den deutschen Kinos erschien.
With his uncouth manner, Professor Pohl doesn’t enjoy the best reputation at the university where he works. To make matters worse, he makes a racist remark when student Naima arrives late for his lecture. Unfortunately for him, a video of his verbal outburst spreads like wildfire on the Internet, and the university’s president, Lambrecht, is called to deal with the incident. But Pohl is not dismissed. Instead, he is put to the task of helping Naima prepare for an important debating competition. The lecturer and the student could not be more different, yet they are thrown together to work as a team.
