Jean-Claude Brisseau's searing portrait of disaffected youth follows the vicissitudes of thirteen-year-old Bruno, who has to stay on his feet in a poor suburb of Paris and finds himself in a classroom of pupils who all share similar learning problems. There he meets Jean-Roger, the “terror” of the teacher and the rest of the school, who befriends him and introduces him to his eccentric family and the violent gang-infested suburbs Bruno now has to live in.
