Synopsis:
A Roman school is the setting for the stories of a history of art teacher who has lost interest in his work and is dogged by a former student; of a substitute literature teacher who gives her all and tries to “save” an eccentric and rebellious student; and of a rigid, irreproachable headmistress forced to deal with a strange student forgotten by his mother…
“In school there’s an inside and an outside and we’re concerned only with what’s inside”, says the headmistress played by Margherita Buy. But is that really true?
