Really fine, sensitive, intelligent film about an Algerian refugee in Montreal who finds work teaching at a school...replacing a teacher who had committed suicide.
Many issues are touched on...usually obliquely, always in an understated way. Remarkable performances by the children...who were 11 or so.
You would think nothing new could be done with a classroom drama. But this film felt fresh, insightful and quite moving. First rate work.
