The Unforgettable Professor

(2021)

Disponível para digressão

The Unforgettable Professor is Pedro Gil’s latest comedy. And it starts badly. A well-established theater teacher who is about to retire doesn’t feel the joy of the first day of school. As if that wasn’t enough, he assumes that this unprecedented event can only be the ultimate confirmation of his defeat: the theater he fought for and taught his pupils has not succeeded. But the worst is yet to come. The Professor convinces himself that the only way to prevent this senior class from ending up like him is to do everything in his power to save them from a life in the theater. Some teachers are unforgettable.
