Arriving in the Abruzzo, Lazio and Molise National Park during a snowstorm, a

seasoned elementary school teacher, Michele Cortese, embarks on a new chapter of his

life. He faces a unique challenge late in his career – a teaching position far from Rome

in a school nestled in the heart of nature.

Agnese, the Vice-Principal and Michele together they form an unlikely duo with a

mission: to breathe life into a school threatened by dwindling enrolments.

As Michele acclimates to the picturesque setting and the multi-age class filled with

spirited children aged 7 to 10, he discovers that real education goes beyond textbooks.

With Agnese’s support and the camaraderie of the students, he sheds his metropolitan

veneer and becomes an integral part of the close-knit community.

However, just as everything seems to fall into place, a heartbreaking revelation shakes

the foundations of their newfound harmony: the school is set to close its doors in June

due to the stark decline in enrolments.

And so, the race against time begins. The film beautifully captures the essence of a

community coming together, transcending boundaries to save something they hold

dear.
