Germain, a literature teacher, gives his new class a composition to write for homework over the weekend. Most of them are mediocre, but one catches his eye: Claude’s description – in a magnificent literary style – of the secret goings-on in the house of Rapha, a classmate whom Claude goes to tutor. Germain’s passion for teaching is reignited by his student’s composition. After each lesson, he meets with Claude one-on-one to work on the continuation of the story, even at the cost of violating a family’s privacy. This remarkable thriller also features bold, incisive criticism of society.
