This is a quiet gentle movie full of humor and understanding about the sometimes painful but rewarding journey to adult hood.
Of huge assistance to those young folk making this journey is a really talented teacher; don't just take my word for it - learn from the movie what Lennon did to assist the teacher in his quest.
Also interesting to show what life is like living in a fascist state - fascism starts in the family and at school.
The director David Trueba is clearly a talent to watch - he was a screenwriter on the much darker confronting but interesting Perdita Durango (Dance with the devil - 1997) - he clearly has real insight into human nature. This is a much kinder more thoughtful film and one for all of us.
9/10 for me (there are no tens).
