Kline stars as William Hundert, a passionate and principled classics
professor who finds his tightly-controlled world shaken when
a new student, Sedgewick Bell (Emile Hirsch), walks into his
classroom. What begins as a fierce battle of wills gives way
to a close student-teacher relationship, but results in a life
lesson for Hundert that will still haunt him a quarter of a century
later. Based on the short story "The Palace Thief"
by Ethan Canin.
