Notorious dunces, the students of a Bac school compete in ingenuity and cheating to obtain the coveted diploma.

Baptiste 'Bebel' Lavalle and his classmates in Versailles' private high-school Louis XIV enjoy their carefree life enough to deliberately fail the exams, a national record of zero graduating pupils. Permissive headmaster Léon Jumaucourt's bitchy wife Lucie takes charge, determined to make them pass. She's no match for Bebel's tricks, despite cruel abuse, but the gang also annoys the public, including the dumb police commissioner. After a mix-up between their bomb-alert prop and a real terrorist group's African embassy attack, Bebel's bunch is condemned to pass their exams or go to jail, and the commissioner, charged with supervision, is in no mood to let them off easily.—KGF Vissers

A fun-filled comedy set in a private Versailles high school. A group of not-so-scholarly students prepare for graduation. It's hard to imagine how these goofy slackers could have made it this far. Their future is at stake when a practical joke results in blowing up the school. A court gives them special incentive for preparing for their final exams: if they don't pass, they'll have to go to prison.—Gaumont

Louis XIV High School, a prestigious private college in France, is notorious for having the lowest passing rate in the country. Every year, a group of rebellious students, led by the cunning Bebel, deliberately fail their exams as part of their mischievous pranks. Faced with the prospect of losing all her students, the strict Principal Jumaucourt takes drastic measures to turn these troublemakers into diligent scholars. However, she has underestimated their ingenuity. The only thing that convinces the unruly students to take their studies seriously is when a prank takes an unexpected turn. With cunning strategy and some well-placed cheating, the infamous troublemakers must work against the odds to avoid a fate worse than failing their exams. The high-stakes challenge promises an exhilarating ride as France's most notorious underachievers must strive to beat the system. If they succeed, they may have a slim chance of escaping the grasp of the law.—Nick Riganas
