When a fire breaks out at his high school in Roubaix, Elias is accused of arson and expelled. Sent to a Catholic boarding school in Burgundy, he finds himself in a world far removed from everything he knows, where unfamiliar customs, social codes, and religious traditions leave him feeling like an outsider. Yet what begins as a bewildering culture shock gradually opens the door to unexpected friendships and newfound understanding. With warmth, gentle humor, and a keen eye for human contradictions, Mohamed Hamidi crafts a heartfelt comedy-drama about belonging, prejudice, and the surprising connections that emerge when different worlds collide.
