Award-winning documentary charting the events within a small
single-class village primary school in the Auvergne region of
France over the course of one academic year. A dozen children aged
4-10 are brought together each day in a rural classroom and taught
all their subjects by a single teacher, Monsieur Georges Lopez. A
master of quiet authority, he patiently navigates the children
towards adolesence, cooling down their arguments and listening to
their problems, while trying to balance the varying needs of the
disparate age groups for whom he must provide.
Nicolas Philibert is one of the world's leading documentary makers
and is the winner of a BAFTA and a Cesar. The protagonists in this
documentary are the patients and staff at the La Borde psychiatric
clinic in France. Each summer they perform a play on a stage set in
the grounds of La Borde. The film charts the rehearsals for the
play and allows the viewer a glimpse at life in one the world's
most highly regarded psychiatric institutions.
