The Gabrielle Russier affair, Corinne Bouchoux.
In the summer and the fall of 1969, Gabrielle Russier, a professor of literature in a Marseille lycée, was judged and condemned for having had a love affair with one of her students. An emblematic figure and a victim for some, and a seductress and guilty woman for others, the teacher found herself confronted with three institutions that were under going a deep crisis : the family, the school, the judiciary. Beyond a conflict between individuals who wanted to apply 1968 ideas and those who defended traditional values, this human interest story revealed some of the contradictions French society was experiencing, at a time when the events of May had not yet been overcome.
