“...the kind of bittersweet, character-dialogue driven piece they just don't do anymore.”~Mark Kermode

Aroview: A jaded teacher is forced to remain on campus during the snowy Christmas break to babysit a handful of students with nowhere else to go. He soon forms an unlikely bond with a brainy, troublemaker, and with the school's head cook, who just lost her son in the Vietnam War.

While the inter-generational premise is familiar, this is a unique take that channels the lighter moments of 1970's "new Hollywood" style. Think Hal Ashby.
