A mix of black comedy and social comment, this is a gripping drama that stars Isabelle Adjani after six years off screen. Adjani portrays a dismayed, depressed high school teacher who simply wants to teach her "difficult" class. But one day, she gets mad... very mad... And she takes her class hostage. Cultural identity, the failing French education system, teenage angst and political correctness are tackled in Skirt Day which is called a "shock film, funny and tragic" by Le Monde.
