When high-school literature teacher Ana Bauch innocently recommends a film to her students, a parent's complaint spirals her life into chaos.

Ana, a dedicated literature teacher, finds herself in a challenging situation when she suggests the movie "Total Eclipse," directed by Agnieszka Holland, to her 17-year-old students as a means to deepen their understanding of Rimbaud's work and life. However, this seemingly innocent choice triggers accusations of misconduct due to the film's portrayal of the passionate relationship between poets Rimbaud and Verlaine.

As Ana staunchly defends her decision, a series of events is set into motion like falling dominoes. The aftermath is far-reaching; the school's principal, Eva, grows distant, straining professional relationships within the institution. The ensuing scandal has a profound impact, not only on Ana's life but also on Victor, the student whose father lodges the initial complaint.
