Here’s what I have, it’s not my first mister, the tone is a light drama maybe some comedic moments. it’s set in America, i saw the movie in the UK, and it may have been on the Disney channel or might just have been on a movie channel.
I remember two scenes, the first scene being in a shopping mall, the girl who would be at least seventeen at a guess, walks by her old teacher, who i suspect taught English. The two don’t get along well, perhaps he sees her as someone who didn’t try hard enough?
The second scene I remember is he ends up in a nursing home after falling ill, she visits him frequently, and she grows to love literature because of him. I suspect it could be poetry, and I recall she cries in one of the scenes they have in the home, which was out of character for her.
There’s no romantic feelings between the two whatsoever, i believe he passes away by the end, and that’s all i have. I’ve been trying to find this movie for the last two years, if you could please avoid suggesting any movie without a female protagonist and their male teacher that would be appreciated, in the past I got a bunch of suggestions which didn’t fit that description.
