In 1965, passionate musician Glenn Holland takes a day job as a high school music teacher, convinced it's just a small obstacle on the road to his true calling: writing a historic opus. As the decades roll by with the composition unwritten but generations of students inspired through his teaching, Holland must redefine his life's purpose.
A dedicated composer struggles to balance his grand musical ambitions with the quiet, daily demands of teaching uninspired teenagers. Decades of classroom life slowly reshape his definition of a lasting legacy.
