Clement is a talented musician, but in the French countryside in 1949, he did not have the opportunity to develop his talents, and eventually became an assistant teacher in a boys' boarding school called the "Pond Bottom Correctional Institution". This school has a nickname called "Bottom of the Pond" because most of the students here are naughty children. After arriving, Clement found that the principal of the school was using brutal and high-pressure methods to manage this group of problem teenagers. Corporal punishment was common here. Clement, with a calm personality, tried to improve the situation by his own methods. In his spare time, he would create creations. Some choruses, and to his surprise, this boarding school did not have music classes. He decided to use music to open the closed hearts of the students.

The children’s hearts are actually very pure, and there are not so many distracting thoughts. As long as you are willing to talk to them, they will naturally like you. Teacher Matthew used music to draw the distance from these children and open them up. The children have always closed their hearts and let them experience happiness. This is really the best teacher and the best student! The purest emotional communication can move people the most
