Plot summary
Mathilde Tessier, seventeen, arrives late to philosophy class at her secondary school in Saint-Étienne and is turned away. Her teacher, François Hainaut, later spots her collapsed at a bus stop and drives her home at her request. He is married to Catherine and returns that day to check on the girl: her mother is hospitalized after a suicide attempt, her father lives in Paris, and she is on her own. Over dinner he presses her to attend classes. The next day she explains Freud's theory of the unconscious to the class, and Hainaut speaks for her before a disciplinary committee, which lets her stay two more months. When she skips a day, he goes to her house to warn her about expulsion.
