Synopsis

About

"As someone interested in remedial institutions and more particularly in the dangerousness of females, I wanted to tell a story about a bond which grows too strong between a remedial teacher and a maladjusted girl. Affection of this sort raises a host of questions including that of limits. How far can a strong, personal relationship go between a remedial teacher and a minor? When does it overstep the bounds of duty? All remedial teachers have to fight out this question with themselves. An error of judgement can quickly have the direst consequences. Louise makes the worst mistake, which is to think that love conquers all. Frustrated love can turn so easily to hate, and then your job is not to save the other’s soul but your own skin. A cruel lesson in life!"
(Pascal Kané)
