La Mestra

Brave, sympathetic and laughing, the teacher believes in the capacities of all boys and girls

The teacher and her small class have built a beautiful school together, a school in the forest with room for all the animals. The word most cherished by our teacher is freedom, and she wants her class to grow freely. Unfortunately, the older ones start a war that forces our protagonists to leave behind their dream school, a school built from love and care.
