Synopsis:

A group of young people enters one of France's grandes écoles where tomorrow's elite is formed. They're the cream of the crop and if all goes according to plan they'll be holding the reigns of power in the future. But life is always more imaginative than we are and learning and love are not mutually exclusive. The game of self, feelings, thought and flesh unsettles these students' certitudes and makes them shed their inhibitions. In the process of becoming what they truly are rather than what they're meant to be, they come to realize that the real school is not the one they thought it was.

Sex, class, and race collide at a French private school in Robert Salis' Grande École. The privileged upper-class Paul (Gregori Baquet) is a student at the school who, although already involved with a girlfriend, becomes attracted to both a new roommate and a lower-class Arab school employee.

A collegian and her boyfriend (Gregori Baquet) compete to see who can seduce and bed a young aristocrat (Jocelyn Quivrin).
