Le Brio

Neila Salah (Camélia Jordana) just wants to get through law school, commuting in from the suburbs to a university where she is made to feel she doesn't belong. After Pierre Mazard (Daniel Auteuil), a professor with a reputation for outbursts, publicly insults her, the university president pushes him to coach her for a speech contest as penance. Yvan Attal puts the two of them in a lecture hall, the rows of seats empty around them.
