00:00I was asked to find you an affection.
00:04Find your value, and we'll see if we can find you something a little less extreme.
00:10I think the Republic has been very generous, Miss.
00:14Could you tell me where I can find Mr. Mayor?
00:17Who's asking?
00:18Louise Viollet. I'm the new teacher.
00:23Things have changed. School is free, secular, and compulsory.
00:28We didn't ask for anything.
00:30Hello.
00:31Hey.
00:34We have lives, cultures.
00:37We didn't wait for you to learn to think.
00:39Either you send me the kids, or I call the police.
00:42For now, you're a stranger.
00:44If you do that, you'll become an enemy.
00:47And like that, we won't have a lot of visitors.
00:50And if you want them to stay, the kids have to go to their class.
00:54You have to talk to the guys here.
00:56And when they drink, you drink.
00:58That's beautiful, but at the end of the day, whatever happens, she'll know more than me.
01:02She'll kick me out.
01:08What does the school say?
01:09He's asking if this is the school.
01:12Five times five.
01:13Twenty-five.
01:14What's the highest French summit?
01:16I'm going to write. Can you teach me too?
01:18What do you think of the teacher?
01:20I like her.
01:21And she's a modern woman.
01:23It's a small village, we can't stop the rumors.
01:25It's nice to be here, but we have to leave.
01:30Clermont might be an explorer, a veterinarian, or a minister.
01:33Anything is possible.
01:35She has to leave.
01:36Go away!
01:43What are you hiding from us?
