After 40 years of teaching in the metropolitan jungle of Rome, school teacher Michele moves to an idyllic village in the heart of the Abruzzo National Park to teach at a tiny primary school with just a handful of students.
It’s far more simple and rustic life but Michael gradually adapts, thanks to the friendly townsfolk and the school’s spirited pupils.
But then the school gets notification that it’s failed to meet its student enrolment quota for the coming year and will be forced to close.
So begins a race against time for the town to save the school and its students whatever it takes…
“Addressing the challenges faced by small communities with sensitivity and lightness, this heart-warming story was the #1 box office hit in Italy for 2024.” – Movie News
