From a 4K remaster: Controversial in France for its depiction of an educational system in crisis, this film focuses on a group of boys who are fed up with their overzealous repressive teachers. Colin (Gilbert Pruchon), Caussat (Louis Lefebvre) and fellow classmates are aware that their school is planning a shindig, but they're not of the mind to cooperate. Frustrated by the scolding and punishment doled out by their teachers, the boys come up with a plan to interfere with the event. The film is an autobiographical take on Vigo's youth and an homage to the spirit of his infamous anarchist father, Miguel Almereyda.
