In a small village in Alsace, two teachers invite the parents of their pupils to present their languages and cultures. Two researchers challenge the reluctance of schools to open up to the linguistic and cultural diversity of their pupils. The film shows how children, parents, teachers, students and researchers can contribute to a radical change of attitude. It tells the story of all these people and how they relate to their languages.

Dans un petit village alsacien, deux enseignantes invitent les parents des enfants à venir enseigner leur langue et parler de leur culture à l'ensemble de la classe. Deux -chercheures luttent contre la difficulté de l'école à s'ouvrir aux langues de la migration. Des enfants, des parents, des enseignants, des étudiants, des chercheurs contribuent ainsi à un changement radical  des mentalités. Le film montre à son tour ces actions concrètes et efficaces pour faire changer le monde.
