The film takes place in an old-fashioned boarding school, Welton Academy, in 1959. The school is very strict and disciplinary and most of the students who goes there are probably there to become doctors or lawyers. We are following seven boys and their new poetry teacher Mr. Keating.
Keating is a former student of Welton, but he doesn’t like the school system. He inspires the boys to seize the day. Carpe Diem. With his untraditional teaching methods he tries to make individuals out of the boys. As an example he tells the class to tear out the introduction in their textbooks, because it threats poetry like math.
One day they are reading about Keating In an old yearbook, and find out that he was a member of the Dead Poets Society. As the group Confronts Keating with the book, he explains the nature of the club.
In a remote cave the seven boys are holding Meetings consisting of reading out loud poetry for each other. Slowly the boys go through a transformation, each of them in their own way.
