  Description     The film  
Fearful that Quebec's language and culture are endangered, Marie-France Miron criticizes Italian immigrants for not speaking French in public and for making too grand a display of the Italian flag. The teenager is filmed in the context of a multi-ethnic school activity that explores conflicts between old-stock Québécois students and students of Italian origin.
