The moody 17-year-old Mathilde has lived separated from her parents. Her philosophy teacher, François, happens to stumble across her path and is eager to help her learn more. He starts to come over to her house every day to go over her homework and teach her the art of studying. Eventually, Mathilde starts placing little hints that she finds François attractive. He tries to resist her, but he finds himself falling for her as well. They soon blossom into a passionate love and keep their affair a secret from his wife, Catherine, and the school.
Catherine later finds out about the affair when her husband comes home late and Mathilde calls his house until he answers. Mathilde becomes obsessed and jealous of Catherine, sends her messages and breaks the glass windows in her bookshop. Catherine tries desperately to find a solution to it. Soon, she gives François an ultimatum to choose between her and Mathilde. He understands the consequences of his decision and ends the affair.

One day, after Mathilde's friends have smashed the windows of Catherine's shop, an angry François drags Mathilde out of his class and seeks an explanation from her.
