Synopsis:College literature teacher Gilman (Fabry Luchini) assigned the students a weekly diary and asked them to truthfully record what they saw during the weekend. Among many boring assignments, Gilman accidentally discovered that the 16-year-old Claude (played by Ernst Umher) had an extremely wonderful article. Claude is a quiet observer who is used to sitting in the last row of the classroom. His homework is about voyeurism - telling the story of how he sneaked into a friend's home and spied on the other person's family's life. Gilman was deeply attracted by the lines, and literature that had been extinguished for a long time was ignited. Not only did he decide to tutor the talented Claude alone and encourage him to let go of creation, he also shared Claude's composition with his wife Jenna (played by Kristen Scott Thomas). However, in the process of reading, adults gradually forget the boundary between fiction and reality, and are even more confused that the door of their own room is already wide open... The genius director François Ozon once stunned the world of cinema with his dark and shocking "Eight Beauties" and "The Case of the Swimming Pool". After warm literary and artistic films such as "5×2" and "Time Remains", the new film "The House" once again returns to the suspense and thriller themes that Ou Yong is best at. Adapted from the Spanish stage play "Boys in the Last Row", the director skillfully spliced voyeuristic literature and confusing reality sections to create a story that is both real and illusory, and full of layers of emotions, eroticism and moral forbidden areas. The film was shortlisted for six César Awards, won the International Film Critics FIPRESCI Award at the Toronto Festival and the Golden Shell Award for Best Film at the San Sebastian Festival in Spain. It was also selected as one of the best films of the year in Europe.
