Synopsis
Amélie Poulain was raised by eccentric parents who — erroneously believing that she had a heart defect — prevented her from meeting other children. She was home schooled by her mother. She developed an active imagination and fantasy life to cope with her loneliness. After her mother is killed in a freak accident, her father's withdrawal from society worsens. Amélie eventually decides to leave home and becomes a waitress at Café des 2 Moulins in Montmartre, which is staffed and frequented by a collection of eccentrics. Spurning romantic relationships after a few disappointing efforts, she finds contentment in simple pleasures and letting her imagination roam free.Actors

Le lycée Jules-Ferry n'affiche que 12 % de réussite au baccalauréat, ce qui fait de lui le pire lycée de France. L'inspecteur d'académie propose alors au proviseur d'engager les pires professeurs, en espérant que, paradoxalement, cela permettra au lycée de dépasser les 50 % de réussite ; faute de quoi, le lycée sera fermé. Sont alors engagés sept professeurs aux méthodes atypiques : Serge Cutiro (surnommé Tirocu par les élèves), un professeur dont on ne sait pas au départ la matière qu'il enseigne (juste excellent en maths, qui sera sa matière où il enseignera dans la suite) très fainéant, déclarant par exemple : « Aujourd'hui, on invente un exercice, on le fait, on le corrige, tout seul et en silence, hop c'est parti ! » ; Gladys, une professeur d'anglais tyrannique adepte du lancer de craie ; Albert, professeur de chimie féru d'expériences dangereuses et bizarres qui finissent la plupart du temps en explosion ; Amina, professeur de français aux courbes affriolantes ; Éric, professeur d’EPS adepte des exercices dangereux ; Maurice, professeur de philosophie québécois totalement incompréhensible (sauf quand il est sous l'emprise de l'alcool) ; et Antoine Polochon, professeur d'histoire idolâtrant Napoléon, et n'ayant jamais passé le CAPES.
