Story
CLOSING FILM Bachir Lazhar, an Algerian immigrant in Canada, is hired to replace an elementary school teacher who died tragically. While the class goes through a long healing process, nobody in the school is aware of Bachir’s painful former life; nor that he is at risk of being deported at any moment. Adapted from Evelyne de la Cheneliere’s play, Monsieur Lazhar depicts the encounter between two distant worlds and the power of self-expression.
