Plot:

In the gripping drama set amidst a harsh Montreal winter, a classroom of elementary school students is left emotionally shattered by their beloved teacher's suicide. As they tentatively try to piece themselves back together, a charismatic Algerian immigrant named Bachir Lazhar assumes the role of substitute teacher. Though he is navigating his own delicate situation – seeking political refuge in Quebec while grappling with personal tragedy - Lazhar's determination to help these young pupils heal drives him to create an environment where openness and trust can flourish. A tale of resilience, 'The Description' delves into the shared vulnerability between a teacher and his students, and how they collectively find the strength to move forward in the aftermath of devastating loss.
