Synopsis
Antonio is the principal of a high school in a troubled immigrant neighborhood, fighting to prevent his school’s closing and the scattering of his students. Judith is the new music teacher, struggling to unite the students through a common project.

Among the students are Pria, a Sikh girl whose family already wants to marry her off; Yassin, a troubled Moroccan boy; Oswaldo, an Ecuadoran caught in the spell of his older gang-member brother; Rai, a disabled Gypsy; Lucrecia, an aspiring actress from the Caribbean; the tough-talking Bea; and Wang, a Chinese boy who is good-naturedly flunking through school.

In Indian food Masala is a blend of colorful, flavorful spices. "Masala", the movie, is a blend of cultures and a metaphor for the changing world we all inhabit.
