Un Professore

Overview
Dante Balestra, a philosophy teacher, returns to Rome after years away to support his son, Simone. With his charismatic and unorthodox teaching style, he begins a class at Leonardo Da Vinci High School, forming a unique bond with his students, including Simone. However, the lines between his personal and professional life soon blur. Complicating matters further is the arrival of Anita, a former love who is now the mother of Manuel, the class's rebellious student. As old emotions resurface, Dante finds himself navigating a tangled web of relationships and responsibilities.
