the story of a 13-year old girl pressed into service after the town's teacher must leave. To earn her pay, she must not lose one student, a daunting task considering the hard-scrabble existence and the almost necessity of having each family member in the agrarian community contribute to survival.
Not a fist-fight, car chase, or bullet shot in anger but you will, if you have an open mind, find the tension quite intense as she fights against lackadaisical students, unconcerned parents, and corrupt officials to try and teach the students, to give them an opportunity at more than survival farm skills. The young actress, on whom the success of the picture rests, is up to the challenge: this is an Oscar worthy performance w/out any recourse to darting eyes, exaggerated hand gestures, or over-emoting. Quiet. Unforgettable. Effortless. Utterly believable.
