A newly tenured Parisian English teacher must adjust when her hoped-for city posting turns out to be a rural school.

The story

Agathe Langlois, a young English teacher from Paris, has just earned tenure and hopes to be transferred back to the city. Instead, she is assigned to a rural middle school in the village of Trouilly-sur-Selle. She lodges with Gilbert and Simone, an eccentric couple who rent her a room beneath their roof. At school, Agathe finds that her new pupils are particularly unruly, while her colleagues hold her in contempt. Faced with a posting far removed from the life she wanted, she has to find a way to adapt to an unfamiliar rural environment.
