Fack ju Göhte (intentional misspelling of "Fuck you, Goethe") is a 2013 German comedy film directed and written by Bora Dağtekin and starring Elyas M'Barek and Karoline Herfurth, while Max von der Groeben and Jella Haase appear in supporting roles.
During Zeki's time in prison, the construction project was completed and his money is now buried beneath the new gymnasium at the Goethe Gesamtschule.
Elisabeth "Lisi" Schnabelstedt is a student teacher at the Goethe Gesamtschule, her former high school, because she has guardianship over her younger sister, Laura.
He also becomes more involved in the school by taking over the leadership of the Drama Club, which performs a modern version of Romeo and Juliet, and helping out with the Jugend forscht group.
When Lisi learns about Zeki's past as a criminal, she threatens to call the police if he does not leave his job and her home at once.
Zeki doesn't follow through with the heist because three students stop him to ask if he will be their homeroom teacher next year and he sees the train with the 'Fack ju Göthe' graffiti.
M'Barek and Dağtekin had previously worked together on the television series Schulmädchen, Doctor's Diary, Türkisch für Anfänger and its film adaptation.
Producer Lena Schömann praised M'Barek for his 'unbelievable discipline', as the actor had worked out five times a week with a personal trainer, losing eight kilos, months before filming began.
[2] The role of school principal went to Katja Riemann, who had just made a guest-appearance in the film of the series Türkisch für Anfänger.
A student role was given to Max von der Groeben, who received a 'best young actor' award at the presentation of the 2013 Goldenen Kamera.
[1] Bora Dagtekins zweite Kinoregiearbeit „Fack ju Göhte" ist eine frech-witzige Komödie mit Lachern im Minutentakt, einer Prise Gefühl und glänzenden Darstellern – ganz in der Tradition seines Debüts "Türkisch für Anfänger".
Bora Dagtekin's second theatrical feature 'Fack ju Göthe' is a cheeky and funny comedy with laughter every minute, a pinch of feeling and brilliant actors – entirely in the tradition of his debut "Türkisch für Anfänger".Klar gibt es hier und da ein paar Längen, und es scheint auch obligatorisch zu sein, dass ein deutscher Film ohne abschließende Versöhnung und Zusammenführung aller Charaktere nicht funktionieren kann.
[5] A third and final film was released on 22 October 2017 but did not feature Karoline Herfurth due to scheduling conflicts.
A Mexican remake of the film titled No manches Frida ("El Maestro Suplente") was released in September 2016.
