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