The relationship between Fernan Gomez and his student is exemplary. The desire to learn and the desire to teach comes across with all the warmth of a loving father and loving son. There is respect, patience, and kindness shown to the little, asthmatic pupil by the understanding teacher and wonderful, human being. The very fact that the teacher, Fernan Gomez, apologizes to his little pupil shows empathy for his small, frightened pupil.
