Pompidou prophesied the disintegration of the school in a short story published after his death. A book that echoes the film “No Waves’, currently in theaters.
“It all started on February 25, at 3:55 p.m. in the second B class of Romorantin high school. Mr. Plumesec, French teacher, tried to interest his 32 students in the sentimental and moral problems of the characters in Racine's Phèdre.”
