Robert Salis's supposedly exposé on the elite schools in France never takes off. It's more interested in the character's sexual desires than giving any insights. Wealthy young men from the provinces come to Paris to get educated at a private university before taking over the business from their parents. These include bisexual Paul who develops a secret crush on his dashing roommate Louis-Arnault who in return has an eye for Paul's girlfriend Agnès. When Agnès finds out about Paul's attraction she decides to challenge Paul for a game of seduction that puts the friendship of the two men at risk. While the film get certain points across, it never manages to say anything new or original about the class system. There are also characters introduced in the first act and later abandoned. Alice Taglioni as Agnès and Jocelyn Quivrin as Louis-Arnault are the only one who stand out in the cast. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
