When a Literature teacher is accused of misconduct by a teenage student, he must fight to defend his name, his career, and the long-term gay relationship he has kept hidden from everyone.
"The Good Teacher (Pas de Vagues) is a French film directed by Teddy Lussi-Modeste (screenwriter of films like An Easy Girl and Jeanne du Barry), co-written by him and Audrey Diwan (screenwriter of BAC Nord), with a story inspired by Lussi-Modeste's real-life experiences as a high school teacher in 2020. The plot follows a teacher (François Civil) who is wrongfully accused of sexual harassment against a student, triggering a spiral of threats and violence, while the educational system remains silent and abandons him. Tackling a sensitive and relevant theme, the film—similar to the iconic The Hunt, starring Mads Mikkelsen—leave no doubt about the innocence of the accused, and instead focuses on the damage that extreme and blind political correctness can cause."
