Synopsis:

When a group of charming teenagers ring the bell of their high school headmistress (Carmen Maura) with a big bouquet of flowers and a birthday present, we are far from thinking that they are the protagonist of a machiavellian plan. Alice Nabat invites this group of jolly young people to have a drink, not knowing that once the door has closed behind them, they will become her tormentors. What is their purpose? As the plot slowly unfolds and thickens, we learn that they have been cheating in class all year and that they feel more powerful than the 'authority' that they are challenging. They actually want to steal the answers to the Baccalaureat (French A Level), to order to pass the precious diploma without any effort on their part. A blackmail of insidious violence happens throughout the night between these 'new barbarians' and their terrorized headmistress, hostage to their uncontrolled and threatening actions.

Equipped with a bouquet of flowers and a set of disarming smiles, four high school students pay a private call on their headmistress, Alice Nabat, to wish her a happy birthday. Moved by this kind gesture, Alice invites the teenagers in for a drink, completely unaware of what she is letting herself in for. Behind the nice smiles there are dark and sinister thoughts. Alice's guests intend to give her an education of an altogether different kind from the one she is used to...
