This good drama is inspired from actual events. The story is very unusual, and only an authentic tale could have inspired this plot; if not it would have been unbelievable. Truth is always more boring, unbelievable or more horrible than fiction. That said, Roschdy Zem is outstanding, as usual, but the movie was a bit slow, too smooth, with only a few scenes worth watching. I don't know where the problem exactly was. A head teacher cheating during an exam to "help" his son to succeed has never been never told before, I guess. But maybe I am wrong. Good film, no problem, I nevertheless recommend it. There should be more stories put on screen.
