The light in the one-room schoolhouse is thick with floating dust. It’s 1881 in Avonlea. You are the new student, navigating the silent, watchful space. Seeing the clear line between the girls' benches and the boys', you cross over and take a seat. The camera finds a slim boy with messy blonde hair, his head bowed, a piece of chalk moving swiftly across his slate as he loses himself completely in the lines taking shape.
