In a primary school well-known for its harshness, where the teachers, burnt out, come and go year after year, five young teachers have decided to make a bet and try to build a school just like the others.

Jeanne Paturle

Jeanne and Cécile bumped into each other in a dark corridor of the E.N.S.A.D (National School of Applied Arts), in 2003. They each were directing their own end of studies film, which mixed documentary and animation: 'Closed eyes', and 'Paul'. A few years later, with the intuition that making films together is better, they directed 'One voice, one vote', which questions the place of politics in our life. When they don't cut up scraps of paper, Cécile teaches visual arts in primary school, and Jeanne works with young people, as a specialist teacher. During 2 years, they worked in the same school, in a difficult area, where they shared interrogations and difficulties with the teaching staff. Living this experience with these young teachers stimulated the desire to make their last film.
