Every year, hundreds of French students go through the agrégation de philosophie, a national philosophy contest to become a philosophy teacher. Through the story of Louis, Cherihene, Lyess, Marc and Stefanos, 5 students from radically different social backgrounds, the film dives into the medieval institution of La Sorbonne and the core of French style, old-school elitism.
The screenings will be followed by a facilitated conversation involving the director and participants to the film, the public, and guests around the theme: "power and discrimination in the French school system".
