Television is the flavor of the month, people are still talking
about the World Expo '58, James Dean juist invented method acting
and Laïka is the first dog in space ... meanwhile, somewhere
in Belgium, the students of the 5th grade of St. Josephs are impatiently
awaiting the holidays.
Before
summer freedom are the final exams. Robin, 17, has other priorities
: his old flame Cathy has reappeared and he realizes he's still
madly in love - only, he doesn't know how to make that clear to
her ... When he finally does, it's Passion with a capital P.
That
same night, the students of the 5th grade aren't losing time either
- they've locked themselves in, and are now studiously copying the
exam questions. But with the Principal, an almost sadistic man in
the building, one of the students, Eddy, gets caught and things
suddenly turn very badly ...
The whole class, headed by Robin, decides to revolt and in a climatic
scene the Principal gets what he owns.
The
teenagers of the 5th grade of St.Josephs just entered Real Life
- and they're making sure everybody knows about it ...!
