At the Philosopher's School
The film depicts the first school experience for five mentally handicapped, who will have to learn how to get along with the others: an almost impossible task, as they seem to be closed to the outside world. But gradually, their class takes shape before our eyes as the students move towards and against everything, much to the amazement and delight of their parents. We observe the adventure of a small group of children different from others, who open themselves to life and to the world.
