George Lopez is a teacher in his last year of teaching at a one-room schoolhouse in rural France. He has taught at the school for 15 years and has developed strong relationships with each of his students from ages 4 to 12. The film documents his last year and the impact he has had on his students' lives. It portrays Lopez as a role model for his calm demeanor, patience, honesty, and ability to build positive relationships with youth. While the rural setting is different than most modern youth programs, the characteristics shown can still help professionals working with young people.
