In Director Tony Kaye`s Detachment, Adrien Brody stars as Henry Barthes, an educator with a true talent to connect with his students. Yet Henry has chosen to bury his gift. By spending his days as a substitute teacher, he conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form an attachment to either students or colleagues. When a new assignment places him at a public school where a frustrated, burned-out administration has created an apathetic student body, Henry soon becomes a role model to the disaffected youth. In finding an unlikely emotional connection to the students, teachers, and a runaway teen he takes in from the streets, Henry realizes that he`s not alone in his life and death struggle to find beauty in a seemingly vicious and loveless world.

Er bleibt nie lange. Henry Barthes ist Aushilfslehrer, unterrichtet mal hier, mal dort. Jetzt beginnt er an einer High School bei New York, die einen extrem schlechten Ruf hat. Von den Jugendlichen seiner neuen Klasse wird Henry mehr gefordert als je zuvor. Und da sind drei Frauen, die sich für ihn interessieren: seine Kollegin Sarah Madison, die Schülerin Meredith und die obdachlose Prostituierte Erica. Sie werden Henrys Welt durcheinanderbringen und ihn mit seinen dunklen Seiten konfrontieren... "Detachment" erzählt von überforderten Lehrern, kaum zu bändigenden Schülern, von Eltern, die alle Erziehungs-Verantwortung an die Schule delegieren. Und von einem Mann, der sich stellen muss - der Realität und seiner Vergangenheit.
