White Wedding

The middle-aged Francois (Bruno Cremer) is a philosophy teacher. He and his charming wife live a moderate life in a small town. However, his student, the 17-year-old girl Mathiere (Vanessa Paradis), appears with a maturity and unruliness that is rare for teenagers. Francois approached her with the mood of saving the fallen girl, but he could not help but be attracted by Mathil's enthusiasm and intelligence. They fell in love with each other passionately and unforgettablely. But when Mathil asked Francois to leave his wife and be with her, the man backed down. He thought of age, marriage, morality, identity, and too many trivial matters. Desperate again, Mathil destroyed the teacher's life in a violent way, subverting his career and marriage, and then disappeared without a trace. When she was found again, her room had the words "Francois, this is the sea."
