Synopsis
Jacques Romand is a history teacher who has lost faith in his vocation. One evening, witnessing a shopkeeper attacked by three young robbers, he catches one of the aggressors – Victor, a 14-year-old Roma boy. Moved by his plight, Jacques becomes fascinated by this “wild youth” who will, little by little, reawaken his passionate belief in education. Determined to allow him the opportunity of escaping his situation, he quickly comes into conflict with the pitiless laws of the boy’s community.

Touchant mais relativement attendu…
Scénario trop convenu mais bel humanisme. Une superbe scène (le repas entre les bénévoles de l’association)
Vincent Lindon dans un rôle très touchant. Peu d’action mais j’ai bien aimé l’ambiance et le sujet du film.
Le film est sympa mais pourrait aller plus loin dans l’émotion. Trop superficiel.
