My Tiny Little School (2026)

Filmmaker Pascal Plisson captures the rhythm of a single academic year in his heartfelt documentary Ma toute petite école, tracking the daily lives of eight young learners in the remote alpine hamlet of La Gurraz. Situated high in the Haute Tarentaise valley, this micro-community of only thirty-six residents depends entirely on its fragile classroom to endure. On the brink of permanent shutdown, the building operates far beyond a standard educational space, serving as the vital pulse that unites neighbors and welcomes new generations into a disappearing rural world. Discover how one modest mountain school becomes the essential anchor preserving local culture, community ties, and everyday survival in the French Alps.
