The film is based on real events and tells about how a caring teacher tries to help a difficult teenager get on the right path. I wanted to watch it for two reasons. First of all, it seems to me that stories about compassionate teachers are overlooked, although films about teachers often turn out to be excellent. Secondly, the teacher here is played by Jared Harris, known for his role as Valery Legasov in the TV series Chernobyl. It seemed to me that such an actor in the role of a teacher guarantees that the film will be at least not bad.

Interestingly, his brother Damian Harris is the director. In addition, the third brother, Jamie Harris, is also starring in the film (he has a minor role as a parole officer here). That's how the family got together and shot the film for only 200 thousand dollars. In general, I did not lose that I decided to watch it. The story turned out to be touching and emotional. Jared Harris played really well, but I was more surprised by actor Nicholas Hamilton playing a schoolboy. I didn't expect anything from him at all, but he turned out to be unexpectedly good. I think we'll hear more about him. I recommend it for viewing.
