Overview

Summer is over. A new school year dawns at the middle school and Pierre, Meriem, Fouad, Sophie, Sandrine, Alix, and Sofiane, a dedicated and close-knit group of teachers, are reunited. They are joined by Benjamin, a young, inexperienced substitute teacher who is quickly confronted with the trials and tribulations of his job. Through their interactions, he comes to find that the passion for teaching is still alive and well within this fragile institution. Having previously chronicled hospital life in his hit series Interns, former doctor Thomas Lilti pays tribute to the teaching world with finesse, examining the immense challenges of an overburdened system.
