Students at Tours University on the banks of the Loire. They are 20, they have chosen to study philosophy. The film follows them as they prepare the subject of their first exam : "Can virtue be taught?" At the same time,they are face to face with the difficulties of learning, day-to-day problems of laundry, food, budget, solitude and concern for the future. A minimalist and tender portrait of a generation and of its interrogations.


Selected at Lussas Etats généraux
