On the eve of the start of the school year, in the sumptuous grounds of the Saint Martin de France boarding school in Pontoise, there is little excitement. On the surface, everything is ready. All that remains is to trim the hedges in the garden so that everything is perfect to accommodate the 600 boarders. On the other hand, in Le Havre, in the Schuman high school, there is excitement. The cupboards delivered have no doors, the work is unfinished and yet the 140 boarders will sleep there the next day. In Saint Martin, Camille discovers this new strict life that she has chosen: uniform, beautiful house as a boarding school. But will she resist the daily pressure of this English-style boarding school? In Le Havre, Clara did not choose to be there so it is heartbreaking for this young 16-year-old high school student to leave her family, will she hold out? Our cameras immersed themselves in these two institutions, for a cross-examination, the crucial week of the new school year. Director: Nina Montané, Remy Vincent & Elise Richard, Amélie Grout
