School Life (La vie scolaire)

synopsis

Samia is the new vice principal at an inner-city school in Paris. Despite the school's poor academic record and the majority of its enrollment coming from Paris' infamous Saint-Denis social housing tower blocks, Samia sees potential in all of them - taking a shine to Yanis, a bright but disillusioned teen with dreams of becoming a filmmaker. Packed with laughs as well as drama, "School Life" is an emotional journey through the ups and downs of the education system, with brilliant performances from an ensemble cast.
