It´s True
Now I'm almost crying, again! Just saw the last episode of this AMAZING documentary about a class of ninth graders in one of the weakest schools in Sweden. They did a project in order to improve and become one of the three best classes in the country. Part of the project was to make a television documentary about the journey. This song was the track for the finishing scenes and it just made me ready to cry - tears of happiness. Do I need to say how it ended?

well, some details about how it ended would be interesting, please?
oh, sorry! what made me ready to cry was the line 'life will smile for you' and that the class reached the goal with the help of fantastic teachers who believed in them, motivated them, cared for them.
one of the last scenes showed the math teacher telling the class how they'd done on the national tests (they came in third place, nationally from being one of the weakest!). he tells them that never in his years as a teacher (30) he has seen ANY pupil get the whole test right, but in this class there was one who scored! and so the song starts playing in the background, you see the classmates stand up, applauding, the teacher hugging the pupils and so forth. yes i know, i have a soft heart, but this was soooo touching! wooaah, i'm gonna cry again! you would have had to see it, amazingly well made documentary.
btw, i've had that song popping around in my head ever since!
