L'École de la Vie plot
Vincent, a history and geography teacher, is struck by a terrible tragedy: his wife Justine dies giving birth to their daughter. Faced with this unbearable reality, and in order not to sink, he takes refuge entirely in his profession as a teacher. Much to the dismay of those around him and of the headmistress, Madame Mine. His students, in turn, have to deal with all kinds of problems, such as alcoholism and poverty.
