Young Neïla Salah grew up in Créteil, a tower block suburb on the outskirts of Paris, and dreams of becoming a lawyer. She has been accepted into a major university in Paris and on her first day there she is confronted by Pierre Mazard, a brilliant professor known for his provocative behavior and blunders. To make amends for an incident, he accepts to help Neïla prepare for a prestigious competition in courtroom eloquence. Both cynical and demanding, Pierre could become the mentor who she needs... But first both must overcome their prejudices.

Critics' reviews

"A well-played if familiar French lesson (...) [It] can definitely seem a bit contrived, if not downright manipulative, yet the characters are compelling enough to avoid becoming major clichés"
