Sergio is a new teacher at an elementary school in Matamoros, known for having the worst grades in Mexico. For the kids, it feels like a dead end. Determined to make a change, Sergio decides to turn the tables and sets his pupils problem-solving challenges that stimulate and engage them.

Based on an incredible true story, Christopher Zalla’s heartwarming film stars Eugenio Derbez as an inspiring teacher who awakens hidden potential from his students. More than a place of learning, an ordinary classroom is lovingly transformed into safe haven from the storms of violence and poverty.
