“No Waves” is a powerful social drama directed by Teddy Lussi-Modeste. The film plunges us into the daily life of a teacher who is falsely accused of inappropriate behavior toward a student.
This accusation, which quickly spreads throughout the school, triggers a series of chain reactions. As doubt settles in, the film expertly explores the protective mechanisms that emerge within educational institutions, often more concerned with preserving their reputation than seeking the truth.
Through this story inspired by real events, the director examines the power dynamics that exist in educational settings, the mechanisms of silence that can develop in the face of injustice, and how individuals can be crushed by a system that refuses to acknowledge its flaws.
“No Waves” is a powerful film that prompts us to reflect on our relationship with truth, justice, and institutions, while offering a striking portrait of the social pressures weighing on the contemporary educational world.
