Writing Life – Annie Ernaux Through the Eyes of High School Students

Filmmaker Claire Simon has devoted an original portrait to her, giving students and teachers a voice. How is Ernaux’s work taught in secondary schools and universities? How is it received, studied and learned? How do today’s French young people approach the writings of Ernaux? By placing her camera in French classrooms, Simon captures the living impact of Ernaux’s words.
