A warm-hearted drama about a divorced teacher who relocates to a troubled Paris suburb school to reconnect with his children, navigating both personal redemption and the challenges of reaching at-risk students.

To be closer to his children following his divorce, Laurent Monier, a history and geography teacher in a peaceful provincial high school, accepts a position in a sensitive college in the Paris suburbs. He is assigned the hardest class, the fourth techno, and he finds an apartment in the Cité des Muriers, a particularly difficult district.
