In Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhone) Victoria, 18, who, after several school failures, endangerments and accumulated anger, decided to voluntarily join a boarding school. Rigor and discipline reign there. She intends to follow a vocational training there.

The first of the rules at the boarding schoolEpidein Marseille (Bouches-du-Rhone) : be ready before 6 a.m. Order, discipline, punctuality, everything they have never experienced and everything they will have to learn. Young adults who have left school, who have sometimes put themselves in danger and who have accumulated anger. Like Victoria, 18, who has not seen her mother for months. The center must put it back on track. Goal : take back her CAP in aesthetics which she abandoned in 3rd grade.

Before arriving at this center, “We went out a lot, we smoked, we drank, we went to nightclubs, we spent nights out…“, she says. “There, we are trying to catch up, that’s why we are here”, adds his comrade. This boarding school, where the supervisors are mostly from the army, welcomes volunteers for long periods. Coming of their own free will, they have between 8 and 22 months to prove themselves. It all starts with an upgrade, especially in maths and French. In return for a balance of 500 euros per month and the possibility of passing the permit, the regulations must be respected. Victoria had a first call to order after a month. Will she succeed in seizing this chance?
