Grande école

ComedyDramaRomance110 min

Paul and Agnès, a longtime couple at a French grande école, hit a fault line when he chooses to live on campus with two roommates instead of moving in with her. Grégori Baquet is Paul, whose attraction to roommate Louis-Arnault unsettles both his relationship and his sense of himself; Alice Taglioni's Agnès answers with jealousy and a reckless bet over Louis-Arnault. As Paul drifts further from the insulated world of the school, a connection with Mecir (Salim Kechiouche), a young Arab worker, pulls questions of class, race, and desire into the open.
