Numa escola primária de Montreal, Bachir Lazhar, um imigrante argelino é contratado para substituir uma professora que se suicidou na sala de aula. Ao mesmo tempo que ajuda os alunos a lidar com a dor, a sua recente perda é também revelada. Nomeado para o Oscar de Melhor Filme Estrangeiro, "Professor Lazhar" é um conto mordaz e poderoso sobre um professor substituto que traz aos seus alunos humanidade, excelência e encanto.

"An Oscar nominee at this year's Academy Awards and for good reason, Falardeau's film is moving, smart and sensitive. Terrific stuff, in short."
— Patrick Peters de Empire
""Monsieur Lazhar" sustains an exquisite balance between grown-up and child's-eye views of education, teacher-student relations and peer-group interactions."
— Stephen Holden de NY Times
""Monsieur Lazhar" is good. Really good."
"Its purpose is to present us with a situation, explore the people involved and show us a man who is dealing with his own deep hurts."
