Based on the popular 1934 novella, the opera tells the story of a teacher at Brookfield, an all-boys English boarding school to which Mr. Chipping—known to his students as “Mr. Chips”—dedicates most of his adult life. The film chronicles Mr. Chips’ story of love, loss and learning over his decades-long tenure at Brookfield.
