What it's about

Alain, a former mountain guide, decides to change his life and become a teacher. He finds himself faced with colorful ninth graders who are not interested in anything. Seeking to motivate them and bring them together, Alain decides to organize an outing... in the bowels of a glacier. The students discover a breathtakingly beautiful world of ice. The idea that this glacier could disappear is unbearable for them. Trained by Alain, the students throw themselves body and soul into a crazy project: to prevent the glacier from melting and nothing can stop them!

Why 10

Middle-schoolers who talk roughA remedial class at the foot of Mont Blanc: some fifty swear words, schoolyard fights and insults between students. It is their language, and the film keeps it.
A glacier that can killThe outing into the bowels of the glacier is truly dangerous: falls, crevasses, a teacher who puts his students at risk to wake them up. Death is talked about, nobody dies.

What the movie brings

Students filed under 'not interested in anything' who wake up in front of a melting glacier.
A teacher who takes a risk for them, and the film does not say whether he was right.
Climate change seen by middle-schoolers, without a lecture.

Watching it together

Before

Warn that the language is rough and that the glacier outing is scary; the rest is a class you grow fond of.

After

at 10 and up

Alain takes his students somewhere dangerous to make them dream: is a teacher allowed to?
