Detachment15

Henry Barthes (Adrien Brody), an educator with a true talent to connect with his students, has chosen to bury his gift. Working as a substitute teacher, he conveniently avoids any emotional attachments by constantly moving on. When a new assignment places him at a public school where a frustrated, burned-out administration has created an apathetic student body, Henry soon becomes a role model to the disaffected youth. In finding an unlikely connection to the students, teachers (including Lucy Liu, James Caan and Christina Hendricks), and a runaway teen he takes in from the streets, Henry realises that he’s not alone in his struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world. A hard-hitting and affecting drama.
