The Small Victories

In the picturesque setting of Kerguen, Alice wears two hats - that of a devoted mayor and an understanding teacher. Juggling these responsibilities leaves little room for anything else until Emile, a 60-year-old man with a burning desire to learn reading and writing, joins her class. Balancing the expectations of running a village and teaching a mature student, Alice faces new challenges. Moreover, she must protect her beloved school from an uncertain fate that threatens its existence. Amidst these pressures, the unlikely bond between Alice and Emile forms the heart of this charming tale about determination, resilience, and the transformative power of education at any age.
