After several years of leave, the crisis leads Augusto Bongiorno to resume his position as a Philosophy professor at an ill-fated institute: Instituto Gracián. There he will meet a group of high school students (each one of their father and mother), who, rather than giving him headaches, drag him into a life of adventure that he did not want.
Can the adventures of a school year be used, Bongiorno asks himself, to begin to discuss with its protagonists about how we should conduct ourselves day by day? What else is philosophy, if not? Thus, the small stories in this book deal with the difficulty of looking at the reality of life without complexes, addressing the truth of everything that seems to have little sense. The difficulty of assuming our constant exposure to the tension between those poles that sometimes attract us and others repel us: segregation and socialization, nature and culture, violence and reason, freedom and responsibility, justice and happiness... A tribute to the vocation of one of the most important professions in the creation of our society and least valued by it: that of the teacher.
