Synopsis: Pierre Hoffman, a young temporary teacher, replaces a colleague at Saint-Joseph College who has attempted suicide. He inherits a pilot class of 9th graders, composed of intellectually precocious students. Pierre quickly notices strange behaviour in them, such as a diffuse hostility and a muted violence. They seem particularly preoccupied by the end of the world. From curiosity to obsession, Pierre tries to find out more.
