In a grammar school in the outskirts of Rome, it's the last day of school before the summer holidays. Professor Vivaldi, Italian literature teacher, before the end bitterly remembers what happened in that year and he wonders what will happen to those young students that he cared for as children from their first day of school. But they've paid him off in a somewhat offensive way, given that, as the professor has noted, today's youth are in most cases changed, drifters and without a sense of civic duty.
The film was the third most popular Italian film in Italy for the year with a gross of 8.7 billion lire ($5.5 million) and was number one at the Italian box office for three consecutive weeks.[1]
