Synopsis

Devoted primary school-teacher Florence is a single mother who pours her heart and soul into her students each and every day. When she encounters the disruptive student Sacha and finds he has been abandoned by his mother, Florence devotes herself to helping him. But Sacha's plight combined with her impending work assessment put unthinkable strain on Florence, pushing her to a breaking point where she will put everything on the line, including her vocation and even her relationship with her own son.

Critics' reviews

"Angel makes a strong impression by re-creating both the energy and chaos of primary school classrooms and the unpredictable situations often surrounding young children."

Justin Lowe: The Hollywood Reporter
