'There are still, almost everywhere in France, single-classroom schools that bring
together, under the same schoolteacher, all the children from the same village, from
nursery age to their last year of primary education.
Whether their individual members are withdrawn or outgoing, these assorted little
groups share everyday life, for the best and for the worst.
It was in one of these schools, somewhere in the heart of the Auvergne, that my film
was shot.'
Nicolas Philibert - director

Inspired by the French phenomenon of single-classe schools, the film ETRE ET AVOIR charts the
life of a small one class village school over the course of one academic year, and takes a warm and
serene look at primary education in the French heartland.
A dozen youngsters, aged 4-10, are brought together in one classroom and taught every subject by
one single teacher of extraordinary dedication. A master in quiet authority, schoolteacher Georges
Lopez patiently navigates the children towards adolescence, cooling down their arguments and
listening to their problems.
