Synopsis :

Based on a work of contemporary fiction by French writer François Bégaudeau, The Class tells a semi-autobiographical account of Bégaudeau’s experiences as a literature teacher working in a Parisian inner-city middle school. A microcosm of contemporary France, the classroom provides a showcase of clashing cultures and attitudes. Despite all the disputes and the difficulties involved in balancing such a low-paying job, Bégaudeau never fails to gain the respect of his students through his unwavering enthusiasm and diligence.
