Trivia
Based on the true story which happened to Teddy Lussi-Modeste, the film's co-writer and director who is also a teacher. The story happened to him at a school in Seine-Saint-Denis (in the Northern suburbs of Paris) in 2019. A 13-year old girl accused him of touching his belt while looking at her, one of her big brothers threatened him, another took her to the police station to file a complaint, all the teachers went on strike, etc. Like Julien, the main character, he feared for his life every time he left school, but didn't want to stop working as he felt this would have been admitting his guilt, and he also feared for his colleagues who were escorting him to the subway.

i don't like

I didn't like the way the story was constructed throughout the film. It had potential, but it was wasted. It would end without an ending and without a conclusion and it would need to have one. In my opinion, it's not worth going to the cinema. I saw it at the Varilux French Film Festival in São Paulo, Brazil. The performances were good, but the characters ended up being clichés. During the film we felt indignation at the protagonist being so foolish and naive, making us want to scream at him not to be such an idiot. The highlight was the children, who represented well the evil, anguish and guilt that can torment everyone at this age, especially the poorest and most vulnerable children.
