Avril is an inspiring teacher to everyone but herself. Haunted by a deepening silence—the persistent shadow of her failure to teach and influence the children in her care—she begins to doubt if she has what it takes to be a teacher in the first place. However, hope rekindles through an unexpected friendship with a group of thinkers in a storied grand café. Across their thought-provoking and profound conversations, Avril begins to uncover the hidden structures of personality and discover the power of philosophical inquiry, leading her to face the fact that to truly inspire her students, she must first define her own living philosophy.
