Nestled in the hills of rural Auvergne, France, a small primary school with just thirteen pupils, ranging in age from four to twelve years old, gathers in a single classroom. Their teacher, George Lopez, teaches every subject, guiding the young learners through joined-up handwriting, French grammar and dictation, patiently cooling down playground arguments and taking the group on local field trips. It will soon be time for Mr Lopez to retire and for the older children, many from farming communities, to go to the much larger secondary school nearby. This gentle documentary quietly observes the school cycle through the different seasons, as the foundations are lain for a kind and fair outlook on life and new ideas take root and germinate.
