Another feel-good film about education, after 'Être et avoir' and 'Binta and the great idea'. The story, which actually happened in 1987, is set in the US where, apparently, children of homeless people did not get automatically accepted into public schools. A newly qualified teacher is put in charge of a single decrepit classroom attached to a homeless shelter to educate the children of the shelter's clients. There follows a struggle to connect with the children and their parents, to obtain more/any resources from the educational establishment etc. Happily, the struggle yields results, starting with small improvements and gradually an environment is created where the children can get a proper education. Thanks to Chus for pointing me to this delightful film.
