Monsieur Lazhar
Movie • 2011 • Comedy
ReportSynopsis
During a harsh Montréal winter, an elementary-school class is left reeling after its teacher commits suicide. Bachir Lazhar, a charismatic Algerian immigrant, steps in as the substitute teacher for the classroom of traumatized children. All the while, he must keep his personal life tucked away: the fact that he is seeking political refuge in Québec – and that he, like the children, has suffered an appalling loss.

[spoilers] At one point it is briefly mentioned that the main young boy was possibly assaulted by his teacher, but it is later clarified that nothing sexual happened, but he was hugged even though he explicitly did not want to be hugged.

two children fight, one has to be restrained and pulled off another student, very brief and not very intense, just more like pulling and grabbing the kid
