Film of the Day is one of my absolute favourites. It's called Etre et Avoir. To be and to have. It is about a tiny school in rural France that is run by the beutiful Mr Lopez. There are about 20 students ranging in age from 3yrs to 12yrs. The film follows Mr Lopez in his last semester before he retires. I remember seeing this at the cinema and crying tears of joy. The simplicity of it is exquisite. The children remind you of all that is good in this world. And Mr Lopez is a true gift. I urge you to find this gem and watch it.
