Jack Marcus, een leraar Engels (Clive Owen), daagt de kunstlerares van de school, Dina Delsanto (Juliette Binoche), uit voor een 'gevecht' tussen woorden en beelden. De studenten kiezen onderling welke van de twee het belangrijkste is. Ondertussen bloeit er ook een onverwachte romance tussen de twee.
