Synopsis : Teacher and novelist François Bégaudeau plays a version of himself as he
negotiates a year with his racially mixed students from a tough
Parisian neighborhood.
Teacher François Marin and his colleagues are preparing for another
school year teaching at a racially mixed inner city high school in
Paris. The teachers talk to each other about their prospective students,
both the good and the bad. The teachers collectively want to inspire
their students, but each teacher is an individual who will do things in
his or her own way to achieve the results they desire. They also have
differing viewpoints on the students themselves, and how best to praise
and discipline them. The administration of the school tries to be as
fair as possible, which includes having student representatives sit on
the student evaluation committee. Marin's class this year of fourteen
and fifteen year olds is no different than previous years, although the
names and faces have changed. Marin tries to get through to his
students, sometimes with success and sometimes resulting in utter
failure...
Films Basis : It is based on the 2006 novel of the same name by François Bégaudeau. The novel is a semi-autobiographical account of Bégaudeau's experiences as a French language and literature teacher in a middle school in the 20th arrondissement of Paris,
particularly illuminating his struggles with "problem children"
Esmerelda (Esmeralda Ouertani), Khoumba (Rachel Regulier), and
Souleymane (Franck Keïta). The film stars Bégaudeau himself in the role
of the teacher.
