Pierre-François Martin-Laval's French comedy Les Profs, starring Christian Clavier and Isabelle Nanty, arrives on Netflix on July 1, 2025. A delirious satire of school.

Les Profs is a French comedy released in 2013, adapted from the famous comic strip of the same name by Pica and Erroc. Directed by Pierre-François Martin-Laval, the film depicts a high school on the brink of collapse, where the French education system tries a solution as absurd as it is improbable: call on the worst teachers to put the worst students back on the right track. With Christian Clavier, Isabelle Nanty and Pierre-François Martin-Laval in the lead roles, this school satire relies on deliberately caricatural humor and an irreverent tone. The film will be available on Netflix from July 1, 2025.

Trailer of the movie Les Profs

The trailer for Les Profs sets the tone for a wacky comedy featuring a popular cast and absurd situations in a school in crisis.

Synopsis: With a bac pass rate of just 12%, the lycée Jules Ferry is considered the worst in France. The Inspecteur d'Académie decides to recruit teachers who go against the grain: the worst students get the worst teachers. Among them: an English teacher who loves heavy metal, a lazy French teacher and an almost non-existent sports teacher. Their mission: to break the 50% pass mark on the bac. An eventful mission.

Who is Les Profs aimed at?

Les Profs is aimed above all at fans of French comedy with absurd, offbeat humor. The film could appeal to teenage and family audiences, as well as those nostalgic for the high school years. The tone is similar to that of comedies such as La Tour Montparnasse infernale, RRRrrrr!!! or Neuilly sa mère! with a gallery of exaggerated characters and deliberately caricatured dialogue. Fans of the original comic strip will find its iconic characters here in a live-action version.
