Country: Canada
Plot: At a Montréal public grade school, an Algerian immigrant is hired to replace a popular teacher who committed suicide in her classroom.
Quick comment: Nothing could have been more convenient than the encounter between
school kids who are facing the suicide of their former teacher in classroom
and an algerian refugee who fakes to be a teacher and him too, tries to deal with
the death of his family. Despite this obvious arrangement, I would recommend it since it manages to be light and sensible within such a heavy
subject as death. At the end you’ll feel comforted.
Relevant Awards: best canadian film (Toronto); best screenplay (Valladolid).
