Overview

François, director of a primary school, teaches third graders. It's a demanding position, leaving him little time for his private life. But he is committed.

Laura is 14 and has arrived from Tahiti with her mother for the first time after his separation, shaking up his calm existence. In the school courtyard, behind the playful games and laughter of the kids, their cries mask problems they struggle with on a day to day basis.
