In Montreal Bashir Lazhar, an Algerian immigrant, is hired as an elementary school teacher. He gets to know his students despite the cultural gap evident from the very first day of class and his difficulty adapting to the school system's constraints. Nobody at the school is aware of Bashir's painful past, or his precarious status as a refugee. Bashir's relationships with the students are explored and how he eventually comes to be loved and respected by them. Nominated for Best Foreign Language film at the 2012 Oscars.
