A heartwarming French drama from acclaimed director Bertrand Tavernier (Round Midnight). Daniel Lefebvre (Phillipe Torreton) works as the principal of an infant school in a poverty-stricken region of Northern France but his attempts to serve his pupils are thwarted by the incompetence and laziness of the local authorities. Now involved in the struggle of a local family suffering from squalor and depression, his efforts become increasingly futile, and his wife Valeria (Maria Pitarresi) grows resentful of his reluctance to have another child.
