English This is a very straightforward short film about a young teacher called Veronica, who comes to tutor a little slacker, and tries to get accustomed to his slow-witted and naughty behavior, until she has no idea what to do anymore and gives up. At times it is quite comical, but the picture ends just when you think it is going to reach a satisfactory conclusion. however, I did not find any such ending. Rohmer's next screenplay (directed by Jean-Luc Godard), in which the character of Veronica also appears, is much better in this regard. [LFŠ 2019] ()
