The story
Teenagers, in their last year of High School, steel the subjects of the Baccalaureate from the education exam division in order to succeed at the exam.
What it’s like
Bright, mischievous comedy with a streetwise energy, carried by a rap-flavoured soundtrack that gives its high-school scenes a restless, teenage pulse. The premise is a small-scale heist: final-year students try to get hold of their Baccalauréat exam papers before the test, and the fun comes from their scheming and improvised plans. The mood is light and playful, with the tension kept at the level of getting caught rather than real danger, and the intensity stays low. The rhythm suits a casual evening or a lighthearted watch with friends. It is for viewers who enjoy youthful capers, French school-life comedy, and a hip-hop-tinged sense of rebellion, without much darkness.
