About

A retired teacher works with his tech-savvy mother on a plan to take revenge on former pupils who once ruined his relationship.

Robert Poutifard (Christian Clavier) is a primary school teacher who is bullied by his pupils. He meets Claudine Haignerelle (Jennie-Anne Walker), a teacher from Quebec who has just arrived at the school, and the two begin a relationship. Four pupils — Anthony Lecain (Roby Schinasi), Audrey Nabindibo (Kézia Quental) and the twins Camille (Salomé Partouche) and Mélanie Guillot (Noémie Chicheportiche) — sabotage his marriage proposal to Claudine, and the couple breaks up. Robert then wants revenge. Nineteen years later he is retired and spends his time putting his plan into practice. His mother Huguette Poutifard (Isabelle Nanty), a specialist in new technologies, helps him. The former pupils he targets include successful chef Anthony, the influencer twins and pop diva Audrey.
