All over France there are still examples of what are known as “single-class schools” that bring together all the children of a village around one teacher, from kindergarten to the last year of elementary school. Between isolation and opening to the world, these eclectic little groups share everyday life, for better and for worse. This film was shot in one such school, somewhere in the heart of Auvergne in the French countryside.
