Summary
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.

The film's empathetic approach and social commentary resonate with many, though some find it overly idealistic and predictable, with criticisms focusing on its lack of cinematic flair and occasional pacing issues.

Touchant mais relativement attendu…
Scénario trop convenu mais bel humanisme. Une superbe scène (le repas entre les bénévoles de l’association)
