About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
At an elite, old-fashioned boarding school in New England, a passionate English teacher inspires his students to rebel against convention and seize the potential of every day, courting the disdain of the stern headmaster.
Stuffy prep school hallways crackle with sudden, subversive energy as poetry breathes life into rigid traditions. This quiet rebellion against conformity captures the fleeting, beautiful ache of youth and the courage to find your own voice.
