Description:
Sergio Colombo, a middle-aged man, finds himself facing a make-or-break moment in his career: attend an intensive, fully immersive English course in the UK or risk losing his job. With heavy heart, Sergio leaves behind his wife and young son and embarks on this challenging adventure across the Atlantic. Upon arriving at the school, he's immediately struck by the rambunctious energy of his fellow students - they're not your typical language learners; these are rowdy teenagers who seem more interested in pranks than punctuation.As the sole adult among a sea of adolescents, Sergio struggles to keep up with the demanding curriculum while navigating the tumultuous social landscape of the school. His journey is one of humbling frustration and unexpected camaraderie as he grapples with slang, grammar rules, and the nuances of British culture. Through this immersive experience, Sergio learns not only about English but also himself, discovering resilience and humor that help him forge unlikely bonds with his young classmates and ultimately redefine his personal and professional life.
