The film is made up of three stories involving the teachers’ struggle against the deficiencies of our educational system. The first, Memorial of a Madman, is a testimony to the marginalized education offered in our rural communities. The Mission deals with the expulsion and death of Jesuit missionary teachers. The third, The Prodigious Teacher, is about the persecution and imprisonment of students and teachers during the 1968 student movement.
