Overview
The story centers around a graduating class of "less-gifted" students in a private Versailles high school. Only a miracle has brought the students this far along, and after a practical joke misfires and the whole school is dynamited, the students are in deep trouble. They have to present themselves in court for their punishment and it could not be worse: If they don't pass their high-school graduation exams, they go to prison!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A scrappy, warm-hearted comedy about misfits given one last shot at respectability, where chaos and camaraderie collide as a bunch of troublemakers race to pass their exams or face prison. It's the kind of film that finds genuine charm in failure and the bonds forged in crisis.
