Stars – Fabrice Luchini, Ernst Umhauer and Kristin Scott Thomas

Germain is an old-fashioned teacher at a trendy secondary school who discovers a renewed purpose in the intriguing prose delivered by student Claude. This mischievous outsider turns his fascination with a classmate’s seemingly ideal bourgeois household into a series of weekly writing exercises. Germain seizes upon the pages, but what does his eagerness to sharpen up the writing tell us about his own stalled creativity, his petty prejudices, and even his arid marriage to art gallery manager Jeanne?

French film, English subtitles
