A spirited, septuagenarian schoolteacher becomes the target of an official witch hunt when she mounts a campaign to have one of her young students released from a government “re-education facility.”
The supportive relationship between an unruly child and a fierce elderly school teacher paints a touching portrait of solidarity and education set in the slums of La Habana. This foreign language Oscar® submission is an affecting social realist drama made up of resolution in the face of hardship.
