What it's about

France. End of the 19th century. Louise Violet 40, a Parisian teacher, is sent on a mission to the French countryside. But in a place where the daily life is linked to the seasons, land and crops, she must first convince parents to send their kids to school. With the help of the mayor, she is gradually accepted by the parents and their children. But soon, her past catches up with her. Despite the obstacles she faces, Miss Violet will give her heart and soul to her belief that education is the key to freedom.

Why 9

Our readingThe school of 1889 against a village, a child's death spoken of and tears: nine, eight with an adult.
reading
A village against the schoolIn 1889, a schoolteacher must impose compulsory schooling on peasants who need their children in the fields; threats, a vandalised classroom, a brawl, a fire, and a child's death spoken of that brings tears.
The restA dozen period swear words, wine, farm knives.

What the movie brings

Why school is free and compulsory, told from the village that did not want it.
A woman alone holding out against a whole village, without turning hard.
The countryside of 1889 as it was: children who work, winter, hunger.
