Storyline

A new school year begins. High school teacher Germain grades his student papers. Appalling! Except for one, written by Claude, who sits in the last row "where you can see all the others". Claude's prose reveals a keen sense of observation bordering on voyeurism. Encouraged by his teacher, Claude continues writing, gleaning details from the people around him to explore the emotional mechanics of two families: one artistic and intellectual; the other petite-bourgeois, their hopes and frustrations expressed through the wife and mother, a modern-day Emma Bovary. Gradually and imperceptibly, reality and fiction become indistinguishable. But what are this young man's obscure designs, and just how far will he go?
