Synopsis
[edit]A teacher (Murúa) educated in the big city is assigned to a rural school in the province of Santiago del Estero, where his students are Quechua speakers. Initially, the ethnocentric prejudices of the teacher and his ignorance of the Quechua culture and the children lead him to enter into conflict with his students and to distance himself from them. Little by little it is the teacher who begins to learn from his students, establishing a relationship of respect and mutual learning.[2]
