The Staffroom (hr|'''Zbornica''') is a 2021 Croatian drama film, the feature film debut of writer and director Sonja Tarokić.[1]
The film premiered at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in August 2021, and won the Big Golden Arena for Best Film almost a year later at the July 2022 Pula Film Festival, the event which serves as the Croatian national film awards.[2]
Entirely set at an elementary school in Zagreb, a new school counselor Anamarija arrives and tries to navigate helping students with complicated and entrenched inner workings of the school, inevitably on a collision course with the headmistress Vedrana and an old history teacher in his sixties, Siniša.
