Excerpt:

François Marin, joué par François Bégaudeau lui-même, est professeur de français. Il enseigne, depuis quatre ans, dans un collège qui se situe au nord de Paris dans le 20ème arrondissement. François fait face à des problèmes de mauvais comportement de la part de ses élèves. Il a du mal à leur enseigner un français et une culture qui sont finalement assez différents des leurs puisqu’ils sont tous d'origines multiples.
