Synopsis
Based on a True Story. A dedicated history teacher at a French high school, Anne Gueguen (Ariane Ascaride), is determined to give the best education she can to her underprivileged inner-city pupils. Frustrated but undaunted, Anne tests her multicultural classroom with a unique assignment: a national competition on the theme of child victims of the Nazi concentration camps. Despite their long-shot odds of winning, these once-rebellious teens soon begin to see one another--and themselves--in a whole new light.Trailer
