Sinossi
Henry Barthes, supplente di liceo, è un solitario che porta in sé un’antica ferita e cerca di tenere tutti a distanza. Un nuovo incarico lo porta in una scuola pubblica, dove allievi senza speranze sono guidati da professori frustrati e disillusi. Pur senza volerlo, Henry diventerà un modello per i suoi studenti.
