This teacher really cares. Every morning, Basilio welcomes his students at the door of the school. Many don't even attempt to come; others get distracted along the way. Through conversations between the teacher and the kids, we become familiar with the difficult reality facing the neighborhood. This is a powerful and sensitive portrait of a man trying to hold a community together.
