At the start of the new
college semester, Eloi and Alexandre encounter André, the most
brilliant and passionate student in the lecture hall. Fascinated by his
ease and charisma, they quickly fall under his spell.
André then offers them his friendship in exchange for complete
loyalty to him. Lost in admiration, Eloi and Alexandre devotedly
submit to this rigorous discipline and let André become their
mentor.
