The First Rule

Director:
Massimiliano D’Epiro

A high school in the suburbs. Gabriele, a young professor just arrived, is called to keep a recovery course for six students suspended for disciplinary reasons – almost all of them are Italians of second generations. The principal is crystal clear: those are extra hours just to make the students get the ammission to the diploma. The first impact with them is very violent. Nicolas, the toughest one, has severely rooted prejudices, threatens the professor with a knife and explains him the "rules" to follow in the class.
