Detachment

Year: 2011

Duration: 98 min

Roaming from school to school, substitute teacher, Henry Barthes, never stays long enough to form any semblance of sentient attachment--the perfect profession for one who is seeking to hide out in the open. However, one day, after arriving at his next assignment, Henry feels that three women of this particular school--Meredith in his first period; the fellow teacher, Ms Madison, and a streetwalker named Erica--have somehow awakened a secret world of well-hidden emotion within him. And, just like Henry, these women find themselves in a constant search for meaning in a harsh, faceless world.—Nick Riganas
