Poetic and heartfelt documentary about a small rural school and the related events in Vastse-Otepää, Estonia. One of the teachers of the school, Ilme Juur, gives a lesson. There are two rows of desks in front of a blackboard, there are eleven pupils and three classes. The seemingly candid camera has documented episodes depicting the sense of community and the silent joy of simple things by several generations.
