Charlie’s got it all: women, prestige and money. However he decides to make a financial transaction that ends up destroying his promising career and sentences him to three months in prison. On leaving prison, he gets a job as a substitute teacher in a public school: this will become his biggest challenge. Learning the hard way, Charlie not only discovers that his unconventional thinking could change the lives of a group of youth-at-risk, but he also finds love in Ana, a simple and idealistic teacher. “The Substitute Teacher” is a story of second opportunities and also a reflection of the dreams and limitations of the Chile we are all building.
