在这部拉扎老师剧情/喜剧片中,西贝尔·拉扎是一个阿尔及利亚的移民。他在魁北克的一所小学工作，他的前任老师悲剧地死掉了。虽然他前任的死令小学的同事和他的学生很悲痛，而且这些生者在心灵上都经历了漫长的恢复过程，但是没有人希望知道拉扎先生痛苦的过往和生活，也没有人清楚他时时刻刻都在担心自己随时可能会被驱逐出这个国家。
Bachir Lazhar, an Algerian immigrant, is hired to replace an elementary school teacher who died tragically. While the class goes through a long healing process, nobody in the school is aware of Bachir's painful former life; nor that he is at risk of being deported at any moment. Adapted from Evelyne de la Cheneliere's play, Bachir Lazhar depicts the encounter between two distant worlds and the power of self-expression. Using great sensitivity and humor, Philippe Falardeau follows a humble man who is ready to transcend his own loss in order to accompany children beyond the silence and taboo of death.
