  • Log in or register to post comments

In a small and picturesque village at the dawn of the 20th century, an elderly professor, known for his wisdom but also for his stubbornness, finds himself at a crossroads. After a life dedicated to teaching, he decides that it is time to reinvent himself and obtain a university degree he never had. With his head full of academic dreams, he enrolls in a local university, though not without some reluctance from his peers, who see him as an anachronism.

As he navigates the modern world of education, the professor faces the challenges of being surrounded by impetuous young people. Gradually, he adapts to new teaching methodologies and learns to interact with his classmates, who show him that age is not a barrier to learning. However, the obstacles he encounters are not merely academic; the elderly man also deals with prejudices and his own insecurities, questioning his place in a world that is rapidly changing.

Amid laughter, tears, and unexpected lessons, the story showcases how the desire for knowledge and the will to improve knows no age. The elder's journey becomes a tribute to perseverance as he forms endearing bonds that challenge generational differences. In the end, his experience transcends the academic realm, teaching everyone that education is, above all, a way to connect with others and with oneself.
