In French; Subtitles
Slow moving movie with very unexciting and limited plot.
From Rotten Tomatoes: In Montreal, an elementary school teacher dies abruptly. Having learned of the incident in the newspaper, Bachir Lazhar a 55-year-old Algerian immigrant, goes to the school to offer his services as a substitute teacher.
Quickly hired to replace the deceased, he finds himself in an establishment in crisis, while going through his own personal tragedy. Little by little, Bachir learns to better know this group of shaken but endearing kids, among whom are Alice and Simon, two charismatic pupils particularly affected by their teacher's death.
