After studying in the capital, the young Cate, 18, returns to her small town in Minas Gerais, to teach in elementary school. Enthusiastic, free and communicative, she conquers the students in the act, but its leading behavior does not appeal to conservative teachers of the 40s. Every day she brings new ideas. While they discover the pleasure of learning, the school friends also have the first lessons about love, friendship and freedom. And the schoolmistress not only winning students: the most beautiful boys in town fall in love with her. Created by Tia Cida and niece of Bishop Aristides, Cate grew up with his uncle's godson, Beto, who became a priest and return to the city after studying outside.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a lighthearted yet persuasive narrative, relying on the contrast between Cate's joyful methods and the conservative norms of the era. It explores themes of pedagogy, coming of age, and personal freedom through warm humor and a nostalgic setting.

Those who tire of cynical comedies will find a genuine, heartwarming story here. What lingers after the credits is a sense of gentle optimism and a smile. — MovieFinder Editorial
