Summary "This documentary from Nicolas Philibert focuses on a single-class French village school, which is situated in a remote Auvergne farming community. There are around twelve pupils - boys and girls whose ages range from four to ten. They are all taught by the same remarkably dedicated and caring teacher, Georges Lopez, himself now approaching retirement. Whilst there are lessons in the basics of reading, writing, and mathematics, there are also more playful activities such as baking pancakes, tobogganing in the snow and picnicking in the summer fields. Lopez regards it as his duty to try and prepare his students for the adult world beyond the cosy classroom. Thus they learn how to get along peacefully with one another and verbal and physical disputes are settled by reasoned discussion, not through physical chastisement and they are encouraged to express their fears and worries.
