In a northern Greek city in the 1960's, a leading opposition politician is attacked while his party is holding a rally. The dead man's party was against foreign intervention in national affairs and was seen as a threat to national security. The cover-up begins almost immediately with the police claiming the dead man was struck by a drunk driver. A prosecutor assigned to the case and he interviews everyone involved, gathering evidence which shows the assassination was potted by senior policemen and right-wing extremists. Getting appropriate actions proves to be something else entirely.

L'école buissonnière - Jean-Paul Le Chanois [1949]

 

Passion for Life [1949]

Soon after the Great War, the Provence village of Salezes gets a new boys' teacher: Mr. Pascal, a war hero with a diploma from a teachers' college. He rejects old methods: boys' sitting still with arms folded memorizing facts. He uses modern methods: he becomes their guide. The boys build a water-powered electric generator, interview their parents about shoe-making and cooking, draw, write poetry, and, after Pascal brings a box of type, put their own magazine together, printed on the backs of old ballots. Their new interest in critical thinking stirs opposition from the mayor and others. The teacher offers a deal: if even one student fails the national exam, he'll resign. All eyes are on Albert, an older youth who has failed three times.
