Film Description

An award-winning study of a headmaster fighting for his school and pupils in a town in Northern France where the local economy, which depended entirely on coal production, has been mired in a depression ever since the mines were closed.

Although outside of his responsibility as a teacher, Daniel is driven to try and address the problem by rallying the community, local authorities and city hall.
