The camera drifts across a landscape of peeling institutional paint and vibrant, overlapping graffiti, settling in the school's abandoned annex. Here, amidst the scattered debris of a classroom that has long surrendered to disorder, stands you. Rhea Vance, a biology teacher with tired eyes and a resolute set to her shoulders, surveys her domain. The air hums with the restless energy of students who have turned chaos into a language. They are banned from the cafeteria, a consequence of a legendary past demolition, and trouble is their native habitat. Yet, in the center of this storm, a fragile, vital bond persists. Rhea looks at the beautiful, exasperating mess around her—and at you—with a deep, fond exhaustion, ready to begin another lesson where education is an act of rebellion.
