SYNOPSIS
Jonas, a teenager who is doing badly at school, meets Pierre, a man in his thirties, who is moved by his situation and takes him under his wing. On the strength of this special bond, Jonas drops out of school. Incapable of setting limits on their relationship, the cost of continuing his education keeps rising for Jonas. Can you learn when you are breaking the rules?
Jonas, seize ans, vit un nouvel échec scolaire et pense pouvoir tout miser sur le tennis, mais il échoue aux portes de la sélection nationale. Il rencontre Pierre, un trentenaire, qui touché par sa situation, va le prendre en charge. Fort de ce lien privilégié, Jonas abandonne l’école publique. Incapable de fixer les limites de cette relation, l’éducation va dépasser le cadre purement scolaire.
