Ciao, Professore! (original title Io speriamo che me la cavo, or "Me, Let's Hope I Make It") is a 1992 Italian "fish out of water" comedy film about an elementary school teacher from northern Italy who is sent by mistake to an impoverished town in the Naples region of southern Italy. There he must deal with vast cultural differences and teach chronically truant children who only respect violence and power, especially one young boy who is already caught up in the gangster lifestyle. The film was directed by Lina Wertmüller and stars Paolo Villaggio.
Reviewer Marc Vincenti notes of the film's R rating, "Why, you might ask, is a film that is without an iota of sex or violence, and that has completely to do with 8- and 9-year-olds, off limits to that very age group as an audience? Let's just say it was a good thing the subtitler knew how to spell four-letter words."
Synopsis
Marco Tullio Sperelli is a professor of Italian language for children from the region of Liguria in northern Italy. Due to a failure of the Ministry of Education, he is transferred not to another northern town, but instead a similar-sounding town near Naples, in southern Italy. There he finds a school where the students, teachers and parents deal with the poverty of the south in a resigned and practical manner that he feels are unworthy of the morality, ethics and education children should learn. (For example, most of the children avoid school because they must work for a living to help support their families).Actors

An arrogant wealthy capitalist named Raffaella (Mariangela Melato) is vacationing on a yacht in the Mediterranean Sea with friends—swimming, sunbathing, and talking incessantly about the virtues of her class and the worthlessness of the political left. Her nonstop political monologue infuriates one of the underclass deckhands on her yacht, Gennarino (Giancarlo Giannini), a dedicated Communist who manages to restrain his opinions to avoid upsetting his boss and losing his good job. Despite her humiliating insults, Gennarino agrees to take her out on a dinghy late in the evening to see the rest of her friends who have gone ahead without her. On their way, the outboard motor gives out, leaving them stranded in the middle of the sea with no land in sight.

Roberto (Roberto Benigni) n’est pas un instituteur ordinaire. De son physique, c’est une sorte de « Pierrot lunaire » ; il est plutôt idéaliste et va s’occuper d’une classe de maternelle à Corticella, dans la banlieue de Bologne, de façon assez originale et révolutionnaire. D’abord, il est le premier homme à prendre service dans l'école de Corticella, s'agissant d'une profession traditionnellement réservée aux femmes. Ensuite, il est convaincu de la nécessité de transformer la pédagogie traditionnelle et va s’y employer avec les petits de la classe maternelle dont il a la charge. Avec l’aide de Luca (Luca Levi), un handicapé, il se livre à des expériences pédagogiques dont il attend la preuve que, ni l’école ni la société, ne sont conçues pour l’épanouissement des enfants. Par exemple, il emmène un jour ses élèves à l’usine où travaillent leurs papas : les bambins bouleversent la mécanique bien huilée mise en place par les adultes. Et pour garder intacte leur spontanéité de jeunes êtres encore instinctifs, il préfère les mettre en rapport avec les animaux : il introduit un âne dans la classe.

Liverpudlian working-class young woman – hairdresser – Rita (Julie Walters) wants to better herself by studying literature. Her assigned Open University professor, Frank Bryant (Michael Caine), however, has long ago openly taken to the bottle, and soon develops misgivings about Rita's ability to adapt to student culture. Bryant is a jaded university lecturer, who describes his occupational ability as "appalling but good enough for his appalling students". His passion for literature is reignited by Rita, whose technical ability for the subject is limited by her lack of education but whose enthusiasm Frank finds refreshing.
