What to do when even the headteacher has given up? Plan a revolution, or perhaps seek some soothing distraction with cute cat videos? Jeanne is furious – and rightly so. She has no money, no right to vote and no job. Admittedly, she’s only fourteen and a schoolgirl, but she still wants to be taken seriously. False promises lurk everywhere – in adverts, the media or from adults – along with even more expectations. A say in things? Not a chance. Olivier is depressed too, because the climate crisis is here and nobody has any solutions ready. One thing is clear to both of them: something has to change! Doing nothing also has consequences. The student council elections come at just the right time. During the campaign, pent-up frustration is pitted against optimism against... free pizza from Mike’s parents, the third candidate. Should the two of them join forces to really make a difference? Things certainly can’t go on like this!
