Narrative
Brussels teacher Amal encourages her students’ passion for reading and freedom of expression, despite the risks. His courageous approach leaves a mark on students and families. I saw the film in Cluj at the 2024 Transilvania International Film Festival – TIFF Romania – and I was so impressed that I can only recommend it to everyone. It’s not an easy film, but a difficult one that makes you think about home. What did we do wrong? So here she was, a truly idealistic literature teacher in a suburban school district in Brussels. It seems that he has gotten into trouble and becomes the target of an intensely hostile group of students and even some teachers with links to Islamic extremism. During a war, a passionate teacher decides to help a Muslim teenager who has been accused of homosexuality by her colleagues. Unfortunately, in an unjust war, things take an increasingly strange and dangerous turn.
