Bachir Lazhar, a humble primary teacher of Algerian origin, is hired in a Montreal school to replace a teacher who has committed suicide hanging inside the classroom. At school, Lazhar comes into contact with a group of children who are very affected by the tragic event. But Lazhar understands well the duel of the little ones because he has also suffered a great loss. (FILMAFFINITY)
