Sequences illustrating the school's approach to learning include: classroom activities in the humanities and sciences; family conferences; discussions of race, class, and gender; faculty meetings; disciplinary problems; sex education; conflict resolution by students; and student council meetings.
Los presos de la cárcel Rebibbia, en Roma, van a cambiar por una temporada las cuatro paredes de sus celdas por un escenario. Un director de teatro ha propuesto al director de la prisión preparar una obra de teatro protagonizada por los reclusos y éste la ha considerado una muy buena idea. La obra en cuestión es "Julio César", de Shakespeare. Durante unos meses los encarcelados se sumergen en los textos del dramaturgo británico viajando hasta lugares de su interior nunca antes inspeccionados. El trabajo que realizan es duro, pero la esperanza y las ganas por sentirse realizados son mayores. Los presos, sin embargo, no pueden olvidar sus errores, los crímenes que los llevaron hasta allí, y, aunque el tiempo que dedican a la obra alivia el desasosiego de muchos, otros se sentirán aún más presos después de conocer el arte, la libertad de la interpretación.

The first film in what would ultimately become Zilnik’s famed Kenedi trilogy follows street hustler Kenedi Hasani and his friend as they roam the streets of Serbia seeking Kenedi’s parents. Kenedi Goes Back Home is Zilnik’s account of the Roma people who were forced to flee from the war in the Balkans to Germany in the 1990s and who, ten years later, are forced against their will to return to Serbia. Zilnik shows the immigrants' lives in relation to the prevailing ideology shaped today by the borders between rich and poor and by the often-racist selection process that determines who will be accepted into Western Europe. In presenting the dilemmas and identifying the crises these people face, he appeals for a solution.
