Based on a true story, French high school teacher Anne Gueguen (Ariane Ascaride), is determined to give the best education she can to her underprivileged inner-city pupils. Undaunted by their apathy, Anne tests her multi-cultural classroom with a unique assignment: a national competition commemorating young victims of Nazi concentration camps. The project is initially met with resistance, until a face-to-face encounter with a Holocaust survivor changes the students' attitudes dramatically.
