Francesco è un giovane alto, di 30 anni, docente di Educazione civica che ha realizzato il suo sogno: ha ottenuto la cattedra presso una scuola secondaria in un paesino di montagna. Insegna nella scuola che aveva frequentato da ragazzo e dove era stato bullizzato da due compagni perchè lui aveva una piccola malformazione al viso: una cicatrice sulla guancia destra. Francesco all'inizio del nuovo anno scolastico cerca di trasmettere dei veri valori ai suoi alunni ed alle sue studentesse. Vuole fare capire ai ragazzi che " la diversità" va accettata e compresa, che il bullo di turno non è altro che una persona debole che spesso nasconde dei disagi. Francesco racconta ai suoi alunni la sua storia per sensibilizzarli e far capire che le persone non vanno giudicate per il loro aspetto fisico. Un giorno a scuola arriva Giuliano, un uomo adulto, gentile ed autorevole. Lui è uno psicologo scolastico che cerca di aiutare sia i bulli che le vittime con lo sportello di Ascolto psicologico. Racconta delle storie che insegnano la gentilezza, l'altruismo e il rispetto degli altri. GIULIANO aiuta le vittime di bullismo a reagire con gentilezza e a guardare il mondo con fiducia, ad accrescere la propria autostima. Purtroppo prima di Natale, un giorno, a causa di incomprensioni su una chat di messaggistica, scoppia una lite tra due alunne della scuola, tra Carla e Sofia e il Preside vorrebbe sospendere lo sportello di ascolto psicologico anche perchè i fondi ministeriali stanno per finire . I due alunni coinvolti nella lite, dopo essere stati aiutati dallo psicologo Giuliano a riflettere sul loro comportamento, vanno dal Preside per chiedere scusa. Grazie alla donazione di un benefattore il progetto di ascolto viene finanziato fino alla fine dell'anno scolastico. Come simbolo di serenità e unione nel cortile della scuola viene collocata la "panchina viola della gentilezza" per tutto il personale della scuola.
