It All Starts Today
The story is set in a forlorn mining town near Valencienne in northern France, and it is about one man's quest to restore life back to his formerly rich community and its citizens. Philippe Torreton, who earned a César for Best Actor in Capitaine Conan for his main role, plays Daniel, the head teacher of a nursery school in a depressed town. Despite all challenges, Daniel is determined to bring life to the neighborhood. When a parent arrives to pick up her children and collapses on the school grounds due to alcohol misuse, and social services refuses to aid, Daniel resolves to take the law into his own hands. Despite the townspeople's opposition, his efforts will not be in vain in the long run.
