A schoolteacher changes everything without any fanfare or grand gesture, just by showing up differently than the one before. You watch a classroom of restless boys slowly realize that strictness and care aren't opposites. This is a show about the quiet way adults reshape you, not through drama, but through patience wearing down your defenses until you stop noticing the exact moment you started listening to them.

Enrico Pocchini is a kind-hearted schoolboy with a firm sense of justice who lives in Turin, Italy. When a new term begins, he loses Miss Delacci, the teacher he adores, and the strict Signor Pelboni takes her place. Over time, Enrico and the other boys in his class grow to respect their new teacher, and along the way they pick up lessons on love, on life, and on being kind to one another. The 1981 TV drama runs for 26 episodes and centers on the everyday school life of Enrico and his classmates.
