The protagonist of the film, Henry Bachtis a teacher who has a talent for some kind of emotional communication with students, but he chose to bury this talent. In order to avoid any "emotional communication" with students or his colleagues, he chose to be a substitute teacher, staying at each school for a short time, and then leaving.
Soon after, he came to a new job and assigned him to teach in a poor public school with no administrators. The students here are defiant, and teaching is extremely difficult to carry out. Henry's talents are reflected here. He soon became a model teacher in this school and an idol for teenagers in the rebellious period. After forming an emotional connection with his colleagues, students, and the teenager he rescued from the street, he found that he was not alone in this world. And Henry also saw the beautiful life and humanity in this seemingly cruel world.

Detachment quotes

  • Henry Barthes: How are you to imagine anything if the images are always provided for you?

    Henry Barthes: Doublethink. To deliberately believe in lies, while knowing they're false.

    Henry Barthes: Examples of this in everyday life: "Oh, I need to be pretty to be happy. I need surgery to be pretty. I need to be thin, famous, fashionable." Our young men today are being told that women are whores, bitches, things to be screwed, beaten, shit on, and shamed. This is a marketing holocaust. Twenty-four hours a day for the rest of our lives, the powers that be are hard at work dumbing us to death.

    Henry Barthes: So to defend ourselves, and fight against assimilating this dullness into our thought processes, we must learn to read. To stimulate our own imagination, to cultivate our own consciousness, our own belief systems. We all need skills to defend, to preserve our own minds.

  • Henry Barthes: [agitated at assisted living nurse] Let me be very clear here, you stop neglecting his needs, or I will start fucking with yours! I will have you fired! Then it's going to be your family! Your children are gonna be at risk! You got it?
