The suicide of the French teacher and the weird behaviour in the class of the most talented pupils is only the beginning of this mysterious horror film. Six nihilistic pupils who seem ordinary teenagers only at first sight are actually preparing for a catastrophe. At first, their behaviour arouses interest and worry in the substitute French teacher, but this soon develops into a real obsession. What are they planning and why? A film about anxiety, fears and hopes of the young generation.

Notre-Dame-des-Landes, a predominantly agricultural area in northwest France, was occupied by squatters in the early 2000s to prevent the construction of a regional airport. A community of activists and farmers, twice forcibly evicted by the state, finally achieved the project’s cancellation in 2018. Their victory is the most successful example of the French anti-development movement known as ZAD (Zone à défendre). Today, ZAD serves as a national and international organisational platform for activists, and in 2021, it gave rise to a new environmental movement, Les Soulèvements de la Terre.
