In 1959, at an all-male boarding school in New England, students are inspired by the unorthodox methods and passion of their new English teacher. Robin Williams’ unforgettable performance as the mentor, urging pupils to seize the day, is all the more moving for Weir’s acknowledgement of the social conventions and family expectations often standing in the way of a fulfilling life.
