Plots(1)
6th grade has a new substitute teacher. She is very ambitious and wants to train the class to win an international competition for European schoolchildren in Paris. Evidently, this substitute is not, what they are used to – apparently she can read the children’s minds, and when she is alone with the pupils in class, she is downright malicious. The children immediately make a complaint about her, but she succeeds in convincing the parents, that she is fantastic – though the class claims, that she is an evil “alien” from a strange planet. The substitute achieves this through her irresistible charm, and soon the parents turn their suspicions towards the children, since their exaggerated imagination seems loaded with too much science fiction, sick video games and mad movies… (official distributor synopsis)
