Antoine attends a summer writing workshop. Alongside other teenagers, he is tasked with writing a crime thriller with the help of celebrated novelist Olivia. Olivia is captivated by his indifferent and aggressive behaviour. This is reflected in his prose, which becomes more violent and disturbing.
After his Palme d’Or winner The Class, Laurent Cantet returned to a classroom setting in this unnerving, slow-burning social thriller. The tension between a fascinated writer and a defiant student—the brilliant Marina Foïs and newcomer Matthieu Lucci—sheds a sharp light on class and racial tensions.
