Plot

After a drug deal gone wrong, Bédé goes into hiding in the countryside at a reformative school for criminal youth. His location is found out, and he and the pupils have to protect themselves with whatever means they have.

Sinekatalog’s take

A crook hiding at a school for young offenders must defend it and its pupils when his pursuers find him. Rochant mixes thriller and absurd comedy with a rough charm, an offbeat French genre oddity rather than a polished one.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
