The Inspection is a mighty film without (luckily) any morality in the end — it is a story about what can and what cannot be told to children. A school teacher receives a visit from an educational inspector, who is trying to coherently react to the parents’ complaints. It turns out she spends too much time telling children about the horrible events of the 20th century, in particular about the Holocaust — all in contradiction to the logically drawn school curriculum. She is deeply convinced that while one cannot talk too much about the genocide of the European Jews, it is way too easy not to say enough, not to warn and not to explain.

Julia, professeure d’histoire expérimentée dans un lycée plutôt tranquille, est face à un inspecteur de l’Éducation nationale. Il veut lui parler. Mais de quoi en réalité ? De ses rapports houleux avec le proviseur ? Des libertés qu’elle prend avec le programme ? Ou de sa manière d’enseigner la Shoah ?

Entrevista entre um experiente professor de história e um inspetor nacional de educação.

Джулия, опытный учитель истории в довольно тихой средней школе, должна побеседовать со школьным инспектором. Он хочет поговорить. Но о чем именно? О ее жарких спорах с директором? О ее свободном обращении со школьной программой? Или о том, как она рассказывает ученикам о холокосте?
