A character-driven comedy-drama about a privileged teacher's collision with reality when forced into an underprivileged suburb, exploring class, values, and human connection.

Teacher in the most prestigious highschool in the country, François enjoys the life he’s always known, in the intellectual and bourgeois society of Paris. Trapped in a situation where he’s forced to accept a job in a school of a tough underprivileged suburb, he finds himself confronted to his own limits and to the upheaval of his values and certainties.
