Plot
Véronique gives a mathematics lesson to a dunce who answers the prepared questions with disconcertingly sound answers.
Sinekatalog’s take
A tiny New Wave comedy in which a math lesson is upended by a pupil whose wrong answers keep sounding strangely right. It is light, witty and unpretentious, a pleasant curiosity for viewers who like early French shorts.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
