In the House

A 16-year old boy, Claude (Ernst Umhauer), insinuates himself into the house of a fellow high-school student, Rapha (Bastien Ughetto), and writes about his family in essays that perversely blur the lines between reality and fiction for his jaded literature teacher, Germain (Fabrice Luchini).
