Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Abruzzo National Park, A WORLD APART follows veteran teacher Michele Cortese as he begins an unexpected chapter in his life.
Arriving during a snowstorm to take a post at a tiny rural school on the verge of closure, Cortese (Antonio Albanese) finds himself far from the comforts of Rome and faced with a lively, multi-age class. With the support of Agnese (Virginia Raffaele), the school’s passionate vice-principal, he gradually sheds his urban habits and rediscovers the true meaning of teaching — rooted in empathy, resilience, and the power of community.
