Not One Less

Directed by Zhang Yimou

When the local teacher must leave for a month, the only substitute avaialable is a shy, tongue-tied 13 year-old. She desperately needs the meagre salary, but it comes with a catch; not one student can drop put. When one student runs away to the city, she doggedly pursues him, revealing her quiet strength and commitment to her role.
