Detachment

"Detachment" is a powerful drama that follows the story of Henry Barthes, a substitute teacher who drifts from classroom to classroom, never staying long enough to form real connections with his students or colleagues. But when he lands in a troubled high school, everything changes. Henry is faced with the challenge of educating students who have given up on themselves, and he soon discovers that he has a gift for connecting with them. As he struggles to make a difference in their lives, Henry finds himself confronting his own painful past and the bleak reality of the world around him. With the help of three women - a damaged sex worker, a fellow teacher, and a troubled teen - Henry begins to see that there may be beauty and hope in unexpected places. But can he find peace and purpose before it's too late? "Detachment" features an all-star cast, including Adrien Brody, Marcia Gay Harden, Christina Hendricks, Sami Gayle, and Betty Kaye.
