    • Synopsis
    • Thorvin and Vilde are the only second graders at their small seaside school. Their days are beatific, and everyone knows each other, plays together and helps one another—until the school shuts down. THE SCHOOL BY THE SEA catches the rainbow of sadness and excitement, resistance and resilience, loss and growth, of a child adapting to change. (Angie Driscoll, HotDocs)
