Gabrielle, a passionate and naive young woman leaves her Montreal home during the Depression to take on her first teaching job in a small prairie town. While she adjusts to her new life and the unusual characters, the town erupts over her unorthodox teaching methods. Eventually winning the approval of the parents and the town leaders, Gabrielle's biggest challenge comes when her oldest pupil, a rebellious and troubled 15-year-old named Mederic, falls in love with her.
