Synopsis: A group of young Congolese high school students are about to sit the exam for their National Diploma, the equivalent of the French baccalaureate, in Kisangani, Democratic Republic of Congo. We see them as they prepare for the exam, from the benches of the school that they are regularly ejected from because they haven’t paid the «teachers’ fees» to the “maquis” (a communal house) where they gather to revise.
