, which was part of the Cannes Film Festival’s main competition this year, with a satire. Inspired by the 13th-century fable The Pied Piper of Hamelin, in which the townspeople never pay the flute-playing rat-catcher for his services, leading him to take matters into his own hands by luring away their children, Hausner's film will focus on a female teacher's own revenge story. The teacher's anger is directed towards the parents who turn against her after their own children end up trusting her over them. Written by Hausner together with Geraldine Bajard, Club Zero is being produced by Austria’s coop 99 filmproduktion.
