Monsieur Lazhar
During a brutal Montréal winter, an elementary-school class is left reeling as a result of its teacher commits suicide. Bachir Lazhar, a Algerian immigrant, steps like the teacher for traumatized children's class room. After all, he needs to maintain his life tucked away: the fact he could be seeking refuge in Québec -- and he, just like the children, has suffered an devastating loss.
