A World Apart
Arriving during a snowstorm to take a post at a tiny rural school on the verge of closure, Cortese (Antonio Albanese) finds himself far from the comforts of Rome and faced with a lively, multi-age class. With the support of Agnese (Virginia Raffaele), the school’s passionate vice-principal, he gradually sheds his urban habits and rediscovers the true meaning of teaching — rooted in empathy, resilience, and the power of community.
Just as Cortese settles in and bonds begin to deepen, the school is threatened by depopulation and a decision to shut it down. What follows is a moving and often humorous race against time, as teachers, students, and villagers come together to fight for the soul of their community.
