In a nursery school class in the 18th arrondissement in Paris, children from a range of cultural and social backgrounds come together… Starting with the reception of the “new kid” who doesn’t speak French, the film follows the development of this human
community. How does the group of children form and change over the course of the school year? How do they meet? How do they choose friends, drift away or break apart? How do they grow in contact with others? And how do children deal with the question of integration?
