A school lost in the jungle, in a zone controlled by the paramilitary and not far from the FARC guerilla. The children who attend classes have already left their childhood behind. Opposite the children is the schoolmistress. Tired and weary of the killings, of a useless education, of risking her life for a pittance, she hangs on to her mission with unflagging energy. In a seemingly lawless world, she gives the keys for survival and understanding… to the camera and the children. In this combat, however isolated she might be, any new awareness gained stands as a victory. (Yann Lardeau)
