A female teacher working in a small French-Canadian school in the middle of nowhere, Canada, tries to motivate her class. She especially takes interest in one of the boys, a young half-Native, half-white boy who is shunned by other kids.
The title, Children of My Heart, says it all. The story unfolds within the context of love. I liked the story and the way it brings out how people react to creative, loving ideas, and how they appreciate acknowledgment. I compare this movie to Good Will Hunting in the sense of life-changing kindnesses.
