Brussels teacher Amala encourages students’ passion for reading and freedom of expression, despite the risks. Her bold approach leaves an impression on students and families. I saw the film in Cluj at the 2024 Transylvania International Film Festival – TIFF Romania – and the film impressed me so much that I can only recommend it to everyone. It’s not easy, but it’s tough, and it makes you think about home. What have we done wrong? So she’s a really idealistic literature teacher in a suburban school district in Brussels. She seems to get into trouble and becomes the target of a powerful group of hostile students, as well as some teachers with links to Islamic extremism. During the hostilities, the passionate teacher decides to help a Muslim teenager who is accused of homosexuality by her colleagues. Unfortunately, things take an increasingly strange and dangerous turn, in an unfair war.
