Ceux qui rougissent

A dozen high school students in a theatre elective find themselves stuck with a substitute teacher for a month. As they recite Shakespeare from a safe distance, the teacher abruptly interrupts their rehearsal. In an age where young people hide their emotions behind a mask, their heads either too high or too low, the question of intimacy becomes increasingly inescapable.

Our take

Mixing the codes of fiction and documentary, and blurring the boundaries between imagination and reality, Those Who Blush is a comedy drama about a class of high-school students meeting a replacement drama teacher, whose methods will rock the teenagers. A series that subtly conveys the giddiness of adolescence, enriched by the actors’ improvisation.
