Temptation comes in many forms. For Francois (Bruno Cremer), a high-school philosophy teacher, it takes the form of Mathilde (Vanessa Paradis), a troubled student with a very bad attitude. Francois sets out to improve her attitude and her grades, and soon the two are bedmates as well as tutor and student. When Francois wants out of the affair, Mathilde will have none of it, and this stubborness nearly ruins both their lives when the affair is discovered. However, whatever else one may say about the relationship, her grades did improve while it was going on.
