Amal

Amal, an idealistic literature teacher in a Brussels suburb, builds her world around poetry and the potential she sees in her students. Her conviction is tested when she stands up for a Muslim teenager accused of homosexuality. The school's corridors, once filled with chatter about books, now hum with hostile whispers. Colleagues distance themselves, and anonymous threats seep from online forums into the staff room. What begins as a simple act of solidarity spirals into an isolating crusade, pitting her progressive ideals against a rising tide of religious extremism within the very institution meant to foster open minds.
