Features: Let children's dreams take flight, for they are memories forgotten from heaven. Children who retain memories of heaven always bring amazement. Do you remember the dreams you had as a child? Let's see how Mr. Matthew enters the dreams of children and awakens memories of heaven. Matthew—a good teacher, a bald angel who has fallen into the wind, meeting him is a blessing! A heartwarming song that celebrates life, shaping the sunshine-like emotions between teacher and student. In 1948, when Claude—a jobless music teacher—found a job at a boarding school, he felt as if he had entered a hell of children. He was astonished by the experience of the previous headmaster who had fled in haste, witnessed the severe disciplinary measures of the school, the cruelty of the principal, the indifference of other teachers, and the lawlessness and helplessness of the children. This inspired him to want to change the school's disciplinary methods, which treated children like criminals treated by the police. He wrote songs specifically for the children on the music sheets, using pure music to awaken the hearts of the teachers, who had grown cold, to free the children from the chains that bound them and to soothe their easily wounded hearts. The sacred and pure music not only purified the children's souls but also had a profound impact on their future lives. The ultimate expression of kindness, friendship, and tolerance is to fill all onlookers with tears of joy.
