A turma dos repententes (1980)

Louis XIV High School, a prestigious private college in France, is notorious for having the lowest passing rate in the country. Every year, a group of rebellious students, led by the cunning Bebel, deliberately fail their exams as part of their mischievous pranks. Faced with the prospect of losing all her students, the strict Principal Jumaucourt takes drastic measures to turn these troublemakers into diligent scholars. However, she has underestimated their ingenuity. The only thing that convinces the unruly students to take their studies seriously is when a prank takes an unexpected turn. With cunning strategy and some well-placed cheating, the infamous troublemakers must work against the odds to avoid a fate worse than failing their exams. The high-stakes challenge promises an exhilarating ride as France's most notorious underachievers must strive to beat the system. If they succeed, they may have a slim chance of escaping the grasp of the law.
