Synopsis
François teaches French to students in their third year in a tough school. He doesn’t hesitate to clash with Esmeralda, Souleymane, Khoumba and the others in stimulating verbal jousts, as if the French language itself were a genuine challenge.
But the discovery of democracy can occasionally entail true risks.
