In 1935, Antoni Benaiges is hired as a teacher in a small, isolated village in Burgos, Spain. There, he establishes a great rapport with his students, a group of young boys and girls between the ages of six and twelve. As he broadens their world he ignores the warning signs from their more conservative parents and the town priest. When he finds out his students have never seen the sea, he promises to take them there.
