Skirt Day

SKIRT DAY is a fascinating psychological study, a socio-critical investigation – and Isabelle Adjani’s first film in five years.

Adjani plays Sonia Bergerac, a teacher at a tough junior high. Despite the principal’s warnings, she wears a skirt to work. She simply wants to teach her class but the insults are just too much. Scared and taking antidepressants, Sonia finds a gun in a bag belonging to one of her students; she takes her class hostage so she can finally teach a proper lesson on Molière.
