Every year many students from different origins, with different personalities and from different social classes join the competition, as they are lead by a group of experts on the matter that help them on the prior preparation for the contest. This "coaches" are proffesionals with different careers, from lawyers to school directors. This documentary explores the thrilling race against the clock that takes place before the contest, as the students get ready for the competition. The documentary is directed by Ladj Ly and Stéphane de Freitas.
