A sixteen-year-old boy insinuates himself into the house of a fellow student from his literature class and writes about it in essays for his French teacher. Faced with this gifted and unusual pupil, the teacher rediscovers his enthusiasm for his work, but the boy’s intrusion will unleash a series of uncontrollable events.

La narration est originale, parfois un peu ennuyante, mais globalement ça reste divertissant. Je veux juste que Claude ne rentre jamais chez moi 🙏

Twitter clip for a good movie?? Pretty twisted, but written so well. I actually kind of feel bad for Claude, he just wanted to be apart of a normal family… albeit in a relatively messed up way.
