After years of teaching in the jungle that is Rome, school teacher, Michele moves to an idyllic village in the mountains to teach at a tiny primary school with just a handful of students.

It is a rustic life that requires some adjustments but Michael gradually adapts, thanks to the friendly townsfolk and the school's spirited pupils.

But then the school gets notification that it has failed to meet its student enrolment quota for the coming year and it will be forced to close. So begins a race against time for Michele to devise a way to save the school and its students.
