Synopsis

A high school teacher starts an absurd struggle to justify herself as she is accused by a parent of promoting homosexuality among students after recommending Agnieszka Holland’s Total Eclipse to her 17-year-old students, so they can better understand Rimbaud’s work. She has to decide whether to stand up for the values she represents or to withdraw quietly.
