"At first sight, the topic of the film seems like another progressive middle class whim, but in the hands of the director, the stark black and white images of the establishment of a new democratic school become a rich, multilayered reflection on reality. Within a few rooms, a corridor and a small courtyard, we witness a real struggle to change accepted conservative educational concepts. The film reveals with unprecedented candor the real difficulties and questions as they happen in front of our eyes. The director succeeds in combining great intimacy with a precise cinematic language while focusing on engaging characters. This is by itself a great documentary achievement that leaves the viewer in total surprise, glued to the screen. From the small moments observed, deep questions arise concerning authority, education, democracy and the limits of freedom."
