Plot
Fresh from a successful January debut in France, Elementary (2017) is a compelling narrative that beautifully encapsulates the struggle of a teacher torn between her devotion to her students and her love for her own child. Sara Forestier, known for her role in Suzanne (AF FFF14), gives an exceptional portrayal of Florence, a dedicated single mom and primary school teacher who invests her entire being into her pupils' growth and well-being.
The story gains momentum when Florence crosses paths with Sacha, a troubled student deserted by his mother, and commits herself to aiding him. However, the combined strain of Sacha's predicament and a looming work assessment pushes Florence to the edge. She is compelled to risk it all - her profession, and even the bond with her own son.
Hélène Angel, the film's director, expertly juxtaposes the lively dynamism and vibrancy of the classroom with Sacha's isolated and bewildering reality. Forestier, meanwhile, captivates with her brilliant portrayal of a woman standing steadfast by her principles. The result is a strikingly candid, hopeful, and captivating depiction of the intricacies of school life. This movie, Elementary (2017), promises to take viewers on an emotional rollercoaster, leaving them contemplating the sacrifices made in the name of love and duty.
