A heartwarming and witty story about transformation, the power of literature, and the transformative journey of learning.

As Rita delves into the world of great literature, her world expands, challenging her perspectives and igniting a passion for learning.

Educating Rita is a poignant and humorous portrait of a student-teacher relationship that changes them both.
