In a small American town in the 1930s, a group of enthusiastic journalism students and their teachers organize a big contest at the high school: to find the most creative way to spread good news to their community. The spirit of camaraderie and rivalry takes hold of them as they embark on a quest for positive stories that spread optimism and joy.
At the center of this adventure is a lively aspiring journalist who dreams of making his town a better place. With his charisma and his inseparable group of friends, they embark on a series of hilarious and sometimes outrageous escapades that include everything from interviewing quirky characters to unexpectedly confronting difficult news and the rumors swirling around the town.
However, there is also a romantic subplot: the protagonist is attracted to his classmate, an intelligent and determined girl, who has her own dreams. As they both try to outdo each other in the competition while balancing their feelings, unexpected discoveries about life and the importance of truth become evident.
As the contest progresses, the students realize that good news is not just what fills the pages; sometimes it’s found closer than they think, in human connections and the kindness that surrounds their little world. The film mixes laughter and reflections, reminding us that a bit of good news can brighten even the grayest day.
