Harold, a fourteen-year-old schoolboy, will become a ‘borderline case’. But which borders or limits does he shatter? Those of the headmistress, who finds it hard to establish a contractual modus vivendi between Harold and the school; those of his teachers, who insist the rules be obeyed; those of his mother or his own as he tries to understand why he is becoming a borderline case and what risks his violence runs? Offering us no prior judgement, the film approaches Harold little by little, through disjointed dialogues, through a multiplicity of viewpoints, and puts into question not only the institutional social rules of our society, but also our own limits.” (Marie Guiraud)
