Benjamin, your turn.

Yeah.

Hello.

Have a seat.

So you're considering veterinary school?

Yeah.

Prep schools take you on file. Then it's 5 years after the exam.

It's a fine career with lots of prospects.

I'm not sure my file is really...

Why not engineer?

Plenty of prospects there.

And medicine?

Medicine also leads

to pharma, dentistry,

even midwifery.

Lots of prospects, like.

Exactly.

Dentistry.

351st... Cynthia Valdoni.

Go on!

Medicine.

No more in medicine.

352nd...

Antoine Verdier.

Nursing!

Biology!

University porter!

Hello.

Your choice, young man.

I withdraw.

There's dentistry or pharmacy.

I want to be a doctor.

You might not get a dispensation.

Withdrawal.

A little silence, please!

353th,

Diane Lalemand.

THE FRESHMEN

Got it all? Eraser, Tipp-Ex, snack...

You just can't stop.

Mum and Dad told me to look after you.

Ticket here and the gate opens.

The doors open.

When it stops, climb on board.

Got that?

- What do you do first? - Finished?

Let others off first.

Need help to find the room?

I have a class.

Good luck.

Listen to the teacher.

Look ahead!

Eyes down!

Repeater, what's your job?

Go and sit down.

May I sit here?

Thank you for your welcome.

I'm Bernard Bertonnet, the dean, and so...

I'm delighted to welcome you,

particularly the brand-new freshmen.

I hope you've been warned this is a tough year.

Especially as enrolment is up by 20%.

Medical studies are under pressure.

In this hall, only the first two or three rows

will pass.

And there are three halls like this.

If your exam grades were average,

your chances of passing are 2%.

2%, 2%, ...

I'm Antoine.

Benjamin.

Now your educational supervisor will say a few words.

Hello and welcome.

I'll introduce myself.

Nathalie Vestieu, educational supervisor.

Nathalie, Nathalie...

Want to eat?

I'm off to the UL.

The University Library.

- Already? - Yeah.

- A repeater? - Double.

So if I want advice on stuff, I can go to hell.

You've got it!

Can I come?

I'll be working.

Work well, then.

- Is it going OK? - Yeah.

Know what tutoring is?

No.

Put simply,

tutoring is done by second years who help first years

like you.

They give their time to help you so you succeed.

OK.

With mock exams, info, tests...

There's the pre-year course too.

You did the course?

In August, before starting. It's mid-September now.

No?

The year really begins in August.

You know only 300 of 2,000 will pass?

Hello.

Dad

Yeah, hello?

No, no worries, I'm working.

You're downstairs?

Yeah, come on up.

No worries.

What code?

The door code...

B8432. B8432, yeah.

You're not here?

Great!

You didn't scare me, I was working.

Chemistry and cell biology.

Fine, I'm getting into it.

Yes, that's what I'm doing.

One card per lesson with a detailed outline.

Yeah.

Exactly.

OK, I have to get back to work.

Yeah, take care.

Bye.

- Is this physics? - Yeah.

There's a line.

For a good seat, arrive early.

Can I sit here?

No, we have two friends coming.

There's no seats.

We got here an hour ago.

There's room there.

No.

You can keep a seat, not a whole row.

It's starting.

Try back there.

- What's up? - You were late, pal.

What's up?

Take your pal and sit back there. I reserved this place.

He's preventing us from sitting.

Just move, OK.

Don't be so aggressive.

What're you doing?

What the hell?

Are you serious?

I don't find this funny.

They're our seats.

So tell them.

Forget it.

Asshole.

I'm glad you're all in shape.

We're tackling fluid statics and you need to focus.

So, what's left?

That's easy. There are two forces.

On the one hand, a force pushing downwards...

I'll have three desserts.

Rice and sausage, please.

I'll have a lot of rice and sausage too.

You're hungry.

I love eating.

You leave home at 7 to get a metro seat and start work.

On embryology, say.

Get a library place right away.

Stay until 10 pm so you can revise on the ride home.

Your attitude matters.

Put the tears in a box

to open after the exam.

You'll fail but stick at it. Be a Jedi.

My parents got me a room nearby.

That's cool.

Many double repeaters?

Just me this year.

I got a dispensation.

I was this close last year.

I turned down dentistry.

Know what the dean said?

Even my mum's death on exam day wouldn't be an excuse.

I looked wild

and said I'd jump from the 7th floor. I threatened to do it.

Seriously?

No.

No, I did a huge file with a doctor's note.

Too bad, my dad and the dean know each other.

If we'd met sooner, he could've helped.

He's a doctor?

Visceral surgeon.

Wow!

Classy.

You're here. Wonderful!

- How's it going? - Good. And you?

I hope you had breakfast.

Yes. I have class in 2 hours.

This won't take long.

We open him up,

take a look, do a biopsy

and sew him up.

- Put on weight? - I don't think so.

Careful, you're short.

Don't be short and fat.

Take a hygiene cap.

It's good to see this.

Just watch.

Then, in a year or two,

you'll help me operate for real.

- And this? - Let me.

Don't move.

The patient's waking.

I'll put him back out.

Give me a little Betadine.

Thank you.

Benjamin, can you aspirate a bit?

- Where? - Here.

Go on.

Stop.

More Betadine.

Thank you.

Asepsis error!

Step back, hands up.

He's not sterile. Change the surgical drapes.

Are you stupid?

My nose was itching.

- A sterile smock? - What time is it?

- 9 o'clock. - No, no time.

You can go.

Hurry, we're busy.

Sorry.

Forgive me.

Press the...

the little square.

Come in.

OK?

Yeah.

Need anything?

No.

Fine.

I'll let you work.

Dad

Hello.

Yes?

Chicken and vegetables.

For you.

For me?

Yes.

Thank you very much.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

Thank you.

Glyceraldehyde...

Glyceraldehyde can optically rotate light....

That's logical.

Have a good day.

A pain au chocolat, please.

Make it two.

Two of them?

2.80.

Actually, three.

All right.

Benjamin!

How are you?

- Fine, and you? - Why are you here?

I'm in medicine.

Right! Your brother said.

And?

- It's good. - Yeah?

What sets med and prep students apart?

- No idea. - Ask them to learn the phone book.

The prep student will ask, "Why?" And the med student...

"When by?"

Get it?

May I?

- They're not great. - Never mind.

Thanks.

You're judged on your ability to digest information

that you'll never use.

Who needs to know wave refraction rules?

Right?

Yeah!

Delicious.

The best in Paris.

Gotta go.

A word of advice.

Study the annals.

Learn without trying to understand. That's the secret.

Good luck!

No!

How can you tell an SN1 nucleophilic substitution

from an SN2?

Start with the global reaction.

As an attack, SN2 is...

Concerted.

Making it stereo-selective.

It is helped by an uncluttered electrophile,

a very good nucleophile and a good...

Nucleofuge.

The SN1 is a sequential attack, so it isn't...

stereo-selective.

Sorry, I thought we were in...

I have to mark you as absent.

Two absences ban you from lab work all semester.

He's never been late before.

The same rule for all.

We began 7 minutes ago.

Right...

The Pauly reaction has three components:

sulfanilic acid, hydrochloric acid and...

The what?

Know the Pauly reaction?

Yeah.

So what's the third component with those two?

Copper sulphate.

OK, take your place.

So, the SN1 is a sequential attack, not a stereo-selective one.

It has a cinetically decisive stage with the formation

of C+...

You're all familiar with that?

Yes.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Have a good day.

Can you wait a second?

In the Pauly reaction,

it's not copper sulphate, but sodium nitrite.

If you're not totally committed, don't waste your time.

Thank you.

- Have a good day. - You too.

What's up?

Nothing.

He wanted something.

He asked me to replace him.

Seriously?

No!

What, then?

He recommended a book to go deeper.

Which one?

Durandeau...

Yeah? Durandeau?

You're good at chemistry?

Teachers say it comes easy to me.

It's tough for me.

Excuse me.

The Durandeau, please.

- On what? - Chemistry.

Which publisher?

In chemistry, Durandeau has done six in three years.

Six?

With Hachette, Masson, Ellipse, Vigot,

Medline and Vernazobres.

The most complete?

Ellipse. Lots of diagrams.

The most expensive?

Vigot.

Masson is the biggest.

OK.

The best seller?

Medline.

The most recent?

Hachette?

OK...

Right...

Your first mock physics exam.

Let's get started.

It's long and hard...

Like my dick!

Long and hard, but feasible.

It's now 2:12 pm.

It ends at 5:12 pm.

Three hours. Good luck.

18th out of 117 in a mock is great.

- I need to be in the top ten. - I was 42nd!

42nd is excellent for a first year.

Especially as you don't work.

I got lucky with the annals I studied.

Drop the modesty.

You're good at science.

The Durandeau?

I bought it. It's Chinese to me.

How about working together?

My old notes will save you time. And you help me revise.

Don't want to?

Can we eat first?

Hello.

Are they the same as last year?

If the photocopies are the same, I have them already.

Possibly.

Possibly?

Possibly the same.

I won't buy them again.

But there may be changes.

You don't know if there are?

Exactly.

It's wiser to buy them?

It's up to you.

Just take them, OK.

Hold on.

Maybe just a few changes?

Or none at all.

Or a lot. We don't know.

Are you done?

Know what? We'll take the lot.

- All right! - Thanks.

Sucrose + H2O?

Sucrose + ...

- Glu... - Glucose + fructose!

Sorry.

Glycogenolysis.

So we have a single node,

large, spherical and clear with dispersed chromatin.

A large, rounded nucleus...

He's fast.

Really fast.

Glucose, pyruvate, acetyl-CoA.

Glucose, pyruvate, acetyl-CoA.

- Again. - It's tough, huh?

The lacunae grow and inter-connect.

Some remain in...

Fuck!

In touch with vessels in the endometrium.

- It's the start... - Of...

Phosphoglucomutase!

For God's sake!

Hurry it up.

Come back once you calm down.

A Golgi in a paranuclear position...

Draw the diagrams. I'll take notes.

The power dissipated by Joule effect in a resistor...

I said oxaloacetate.

- You didn't. - I just did!

Fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate. I know it.

You never said it!

Nine in all.

No oxaloacetate!

- Bullshit. - I said it.

Nor with the sarcomere viewed by electronic microscope,

composed of two half I-bands, and A-band

and a central M-line.

That's it.

Go ahead.

In a stationary state, a cell's plasmic membrane

has different concentrations of potassium and sodium ions.

Intra- and extra-cellular...

Hold on... Sorry, I can't take any more.

How about a break?

You bet.

Maths break?

Derivatives, stats, integrals?

Sorry, but we're working.

She's not wrong.

Annals are the best way.

- No. - They are.

Understanding is a waste of time.

I worked hard for two years.

- It pays off. - That's bullshit.

Who needs to know wave refraction rules?

No one.

- We do. - We don't!

Learn to answer automatically.

Like a reflex.

Nauseous reflex of the parasympathetic system

via the thalamus and cerebellum

through the vagal nerve.

Answer B, D, E to multiple-choice question 128?

Yeah, it's simpler.

An atom's ionization...

You won't believe what I just read.

If you pick answer B each time, you get 66% of your points.

- Not possible. - It says so here.

"In biochemistry and cellular biology, don't learn too much.

Studies show that picking answer B in multiple-choice exams

earns 66% of points."

That's amazing. Show me.

"In biochemistry and cellular biology, don't speculate.

Random answers mean failure."

Jerk!

It's not a dumb idea.

If I don't know and answer B, I'll make up my points.

Bullshit.

They're just stats.

Want one?

- No, I'm OK. - Cool.

OK, I have an attack plan.

I have 10 years of med school annals.

We go over them all in two weeks,

again and again.

Your approach is too academic.

We have to answer like machines.

It's all detail.

I dunno.

My brother's at an elite school, his best pal too.

They know exams.

Together that makes the secondary lateral cord.

The median nerve arises from that lateral cord

and the secondary medial cord.

So what's that?

- Where? - There.

What's that there?

That's mash.

No, seriously.

That's the anterior part of the superior trunk.

The anterior part of the superior trunk.

- Let's split. - OK.

Anterior part of the superior trunk...

- Can I take your desserts? - Yeah.

Good evening.

I got chocolate and coffee. I wasn't sure.

I got this too...

And a flan.

There.

It's a lot.

Only natural.

Have a good evening.

Let's get to work on physio.

So, what is "rice à la Serge"?

Basically, a sort of paella...

Not as good.

With an added extra.

My little secret.

A gob of spit.

You don't want to help?

Can't we have a laugh?

Your friend has the right attitude.

OK, pass me the pepper.

It's right there.

And start peeling the onions.

Take the onions.

- OK. - Peeled one before?

- Sure! - One is enough.

And me?

Wash the colander and the dish in the sink.

Doing the dishes kind of sucks.

Medicine is team work, OK.

It's always been your dream?

Yeah.

Like me.

It's inside us.

We can't explain it.

We're empathic.

Your friend and I are empathic, you hear?

Yeah, I'm just here.

Try using hot water.

- I'm fine. - No, look.

It's a real mess.

It's fine.

Let me do it, I know how stubborn you are.

Thank you.

Your dad gives you a hard time.

I'm used to it.

He'll let me help operate.

Yeah?

That's cool.

- You don't mind? - No.

- You don't? - No, really...

Cool.

Go on. It'll be here soon.

- Thanks for today. - Sure.

- See you tomorrow. - Good night.

Pens down.

Hands up! Freeze, you're surrounded.

Pass the papers along the row.

That was the last mock exam before the real one.

Enjoy the Christmas holidays

and New Year's Eve.

Very funny!

You have two weeks to work hard and revise everything.

Lock yourselves in and only come out for the exam.

January's first exam is not conclusive,

but it influences your final ranking.

- I wish you luck. - Thanks, sir!

The mock results will be posted outside this room at 2 pm.

A bawdy song! A bawdy song!

All right. The words are up.

You're well organized.

Charlotte!

In her boudoir, young Charlotte,

In heat but without a cock at hand

Masturbated with a carrot

And came on the edge of her bed

Diddle! Diddle! Diddle, Charlotte! Diddle! Diddle! It's so good!

Good!

Diddle! Diddle! Diddle, Charlotte! Diddle! Diddle! All night long!

Diddle! Diddle! Diddle, Charlotte!

Diddle! Diddle! It's so good!

First! I'm first!

Fantastic! You fucking genius!

I'm first! Give me a break!

We must find time to nap.

What?

We need naps. Short ones, ten minutes.

The info will register.

If we get eight hours a night,

a nap's no use.

You never sleep eight hours a night.

Six to eight hours regenerates you.

We can nap 10 minutes in the library, then work.

We'll be beat.

Not at all. A ten-minute nap won't tire you.

Ten minutes won't tire you.

- Where are we? - Follow me.

Don't make a sound.

It stinks.

That's formalin. Look!

I can move it.

Like this.

See what tenses?

See that?

Well?

The third years.

See, you can do it.

Everyone has to try the drawer test. It's an important clue.

It'll be in semiotics next semester.

What's that called?

The name.

Know what it's called?

The adductor canal.

Beautiful, isn't it?

Dunno.

Bend the knee properly.

There, that's it.

Great. Now try to relax the knee.

Try to mime an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

- OK. - Cut it.

- You're all following? - Yes.

The same movement again?

Anyone else?

Go on.

It's endless.

We might still learn something, so we revise until the last second.

Today's the big day for our future.

I have a lump in my stomach.

My father is a doctor.

He tried to help a little.

To revise?

Not to revise. He advised me on how to work.

But he's out of his depth.

Students work more and more and are increasingly efficient.

From 60 questions, we're up to 77

and maybe 80 next year as some will get 20/20 on the 77.

That happens.

I think they're more efficient than we were at their age. Definitely.

Pass him.

- Relax. - You're not reacting!

With the train, we wouldn't be stuck in traffic.

Trust me, we're fine.

No need to get so stressed.

It's a 90 limit, speed up.

I never missed an exam.

If my friend passes and I don't,

I don't know how I'll react.

We really want a place.

That makes things complicated.

You all agree?

The spirit of competition rules.

That's it!

You're fucking hopeless!

Careful.

Park right here.

- Shit! - Try removing the belt.

You're 20 minutes early, OK.

- Yeah. - Relax.

A carotid massage?

What?

Massaging the carotid lowers your heartbeat.

- Seriously? - You're the doctor. Go on!

Answer everything, OK.

Yeah. Thanks!

- Good luck. - Bye.

Yeah.

My brother just dropped me off.

I'm in front, outside the glass doors.

Where?

No, I don't see you.

OK, I see you.

Are you OK?

- I feel I know nothing. - That's normal.

This is crazy.

I had two dud days.

Two days without working.

- Two lost days. - Don't worry.

The first time in three years.

My body said, "Stop!"

Let's massage our carotids.

Massage it there.

- Not too fast - OK.

Go ahead.

There will be no further admission.

To all invigilators...

The subjects will be distributed face down so that everyone....

It is forbidden to look at them before the start of the exam.

The next exam on cells and tissues

will be held tomorrow, Thursday, January 5th, at 1 pm.

Note your answers on the multiple-choice grid

provided by the administration, in black ink only.

The administration provides only one grid.

To mark your answers,

you must blacken completely the square or squares chosen.

Do not scratch, cancel out, use a cross or any other sign.

When the final bell sounds, stop writing and put down your pens.

Failure to observe these instructions will be seen

as an attempt at cheating

and lead to a disciplinary hearing.

It is 9 o'clock. The subjects have been distributed.

You may now discover the questions.

I'll just sit and wait.

That far off?

You'd make a great physiotherapist.

You can do better.

I'm OK, yes.

You're over there.

Yes!

I'm 218th.

My best rank ever.

In the lead carriage.

And you?

132nd!

132nd?

Yeah! Yeah, I came 132nd.

You're sure of that?

I checked ten times. I'm 132nd.

What?

Nothing...

That's good.

Let's celebrate.

Celebrate what?

Mum, it's me...

132nd!

It's wild. I don't know how I managed it.

Go ahead, put him on.

Hello, Dad?

132nd.

Out of 2,300 or 2,500... Can you imagine?

There are 329 places in medicine. I'm well placed.

I worked hard. I'm not going to falter now.

I'll drop a little, sure, but it's feasible.

I know, anyone can bomb in the second semester.

Yes, I'm listening.

- OK? - And you?

Only 500 of us are left now.

Between the 200th and 500th, there's 0.2 points.

Only 0.2?

Just three correct answers.

Out of 450 questions!

One mistake, you fall by 100.

You end up a physiotherapist.

Just doing massages.

Worse, a biology teacher.

My mum teaches biology.

Good morning.

- Let's get started. - May I sit there?

- Sorry, I'm keeping it. - Too bad.

Take out your anatomy photocopies.

Turn to page 12.

You all have it?

The urinary tract today.

So, the urinary tract

is divided into two parts.

First the upper tract, here...

Come in.

Hi there.

Cookies. You haven't eaten.

Thanks, I'm not hungry.

Everything OK?

Yes, I'm working.

So I see...

- Wow... - Don't touch my pages.

I was there?

Don't mess things up.

Please.

I'm just looking.

You drew this?

What's the problem?

What is this?

Can you explain the cytochrome C leak from the mitochondrion to the cytosol?

No.

You can't help, so leave me be.

The way I remember it is "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe".

It reminds me three nerves start with "o".

- The first three. - Miny, moe...

Let me try to remember...

Do it again.

- Number 1? - Olfactive.

- 2? - Optical.

- 3? - Oculomotor.

- 4? - Ocular.

Hi there!

Your mock ranking?

28th.

That's good.

Not asking me?

I know already.

What do you think?

You were tired.

No, I wasn't.

I just gave in.

It's a mental thing.

The exam wasted him.

You said it.

One free place.

Sorry, it's true.

Removing the competition?

Taking all the books so others can't work?

That's a joke.

Want to work together?

- Get lost. - Calm down.

Don't touch me!

- What's up? - Shut it!

Can't you be quiet?

Sorry, forgive us.

Goddam crawler.

Out, both of you.

Give me your cards.

Come back for them next week if you calm down.

Your library cards.

Can't we talk?

You enjoyed getting me banned?

To stop me revising?

Using me wasn't enough?

Your ranking is great.

You have a better chance than me.

"I study annals"... Fucker!

What's that?

An article on graffiti in Rome.

Like tags?

If you like. But in the 18th century.

Not bad.

Are you doing OK?

Historian was always your dream?

I think so. Why?

Just asking.

And university?

Everything OK?

Yeah.

C. Now, what's left?

Shut up.

Perfect.

- Finished! - Good idea.

Why are you looking at me?

We aren't.

You are.

What were you whispering?

We weren't.

I heard you talking about me in the kitchen.

We're worried about you.

You are?

- About time! - Don't be unfair.

Ease up a little.

Rest for a couple of weeks.

Sure.

I'll do that. I hadn't thought of it.

We'll help you.

Until you feel better.

OK, of course.

I never even thought of it.

- Yes? - Yeah.

I'll do that. I'll rest.

Antoine...

OK...

Now the second pathway that you really need to know.

We call this one putamino

nigroputaminal.

With circulation this time between the putamen,

the substantia nigra and the putamen again.

The circulation is marked in red this time.

Sit down!

This kind of circulation belongs to the pyramidal system...

May I?

Absurd. I have to correct this.

- Shut up! - What is this?

You'll thank me later.

This is totally false.

This goes via the subthalamic nucleus, as you said last year,

not the substantia nigra. That's wrong.

- Enough. - Calm down.

Hands off.

Give me that.

I'll redo a brain because this is absurd.

Thalamus, cingulum...

The striatum, with the pathway.

Cingulum, striatum, thalamus... The right pathway.

Cingulum, striatum, thalamus...

Let go of me.

Let me finish my drawing.

Come on, out with you.

Get some rest, man!

Excuse me.

Someone's asking to see you.

Benjamin?

I'm François, Antoine's dad.

Hello.

- I'll leave you. - OK.

- Cigarette? - No, thanks.

Failing twice means he isn't made for it.

You know, lots of people pass the exam

and aren't made to be doctors.

So, are you made for it?

I don't know.

- Too much pressure. - He snapped.

I sensed he was fragile.

You never met him!

I know, but...

It's obvious. That's what exams are for.

To select resistant students and eliminate fragile ones.

Really?

Imagine the stress and responsibilities doctors face.

That's dumb.

Exams are to select people like us, ones with the codes.

Why is he well ranked?

- Cos I'm not dumb. - No.

You have the codes, acquired without realizing.

Sorry, I haven't reread Bourdieu.

"Society must serve school and not the opposite." Bachelard.

The humeroulnar joint in the elbow

is a trochlear synovial joint

between the trochlea of the humerus and...

and the trochlear notch of the ulna.

The carpal bones: scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform.

Shit!

Second row: trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate.

Trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate.

- Did I wake you? - Yes.

Sorry. I'll make you a coffee. Come in.

- You're working nights now? - Yes.

- Doing what? - Child-minding.

- What? - Like a babysitter.

OK, a babysitter.

Where's your friend?

At his parents'. He's not in great shape.

Ah, OK.

Ever heard of mitochondria?

They're like tiny cells... Well, no, a factory in a cell.

And...

they're what produce energy.

The hypothalamus indirectly regulates gland secretion in the organism.

- Yeah, indirectly. - Via the adenohypophysis...

So, to sum up, that's hypothalamus CRH, hypophysis ACTH...

Showing us?

Shit. Suprarenal, adrenalin and...

Cortisol.

Cortisol, then back to the hypothalamus

and the hypophysis.

It may not be on the programme.

It's the same axis: hypothalamus TRH, hypophysis TSH.

But dopamine inhibits...

May I?

...the hypophysis.

Just a quick word.

Excuse me.

Sorry, but we're working here.

Forgive me.

- Cut it out. - No, forgive me.

I...

I went completely haywire.

Serotonin inhibits dopamine, which inhibits prolactin.

Activating prolactin.

Minus, minus, plus.

Let's work together again.

Come on.

- What is this? - Help me catch up.

No way.

You're totally out of it. You need to rest.

You're too far behind.

I won't manage it alone.

But I can with you.

- I'm with a group. - Screw them.

I can't leave them.

It stops CRH production...

- Everything OK? - Yeah.

Nor adrenalin.

Adrenalin is the stress hormone, so cortisol...

That's anatomy, physiology,

public health, pharma, maths, human sciences.

- OK. - We have 24 days.

24 mornings, 24 afternoons, 24 evenings.

Four days per subject.

A tough subject first thing.

Lunch: 40 minutes.

Afternoon: an easy subject until 5 pm.

Snack: 20 minutes.

Two hours on a tough subject.

7:30-8:30, the canteen. That's important.

Then annals till we drop.

That way, it's feasible.

What do you say?

Ready?

Attenuated virus vaccines.

- Measles. - Yes.

- German measles. - Yes.

Then there's... mumps.

Yeah. You have to be quicker.

- Tuberculosis? - Yeah.

- There. - Polio too.

Right.

I get your chocolate.

- Benjamin! - Yeah.

Understand the "humanitude" concept?

What?

Simone Plourde's "humanitude" concept.

Not really.

D: Free electrons colliding cause the Joule effect.

So... U = RI...

...attached to microtubules blocking tubulin dimers

and so polymerization and depolymerization...

Anterior scalene, subclavian vein...

- No. - No?

- Subclavian artery... - Down one floor.

- Fuck... - One mistake, one floor.

OK, carry on.

- Have the caramel dessert. - I choose what I take.

Not that, please!

The mitral valve.

This is the left ventricle.

And we'll say the staircase is the aorta, OK?

Play the aortic valve. I'll be the rising blood pressure.

- What's the problem? - Nothing.

An aortic pressure problem...

Could you be the mitral valve?

No.

It won't take long. Stand in the middle...

- Just for a second. - OK, where?

Stand in the middle.

Be the mitral valve. When it's open, hold your arms by your body.

When it closes, spread your arms,

so the blood can't get through.

OK. Great.

Blood flows from the left auricle to the left ventricle.

It swells,

the mitral valve closes.

Closed!

The blood's blocked.

The left ventricle contracts as a nerve impulse.

The pressure keeps rising

and when it exceeds the aortic pressure, the aortic valve opens.

And the blood flows.

- See? - OK. I get it now!

The aortic valve opens

when the ventricle contracts

as the valve closes. It's mechanic.

- Exactly. - How quickly?

3 tenths of a second at rest.

- Not a lot. - Pretty fast.

- Thank you. - Good night.

Good night.

I'm Benjamin and I'd like to say...

3 hours to answer 72 questions with 5 possible answers,

that's 2 minutes per question.

At that rate, you answer as a reptilian reflex or at random.

I'm Quitterie. I love my little sister

and spent a lot of time with her until this year.

So now I invite her to dinner at my place.

She stays from 7 to 7:15.

An hour's trip, but she comes every day.

I'm Antoine.

After multiple choice, have you heard of SOQs?

Short, open questions to test our intelligence.

We're given the title of a lesson

and must reproduce the text in full.

The best of us, the future doctors,

are closer to reptiles than human beings.

The exam is over. Put down your pens and stand.

The invigilators will collect your grid.

After handing it in, sit down and await the signal to leave.

The count is complete. You may leave.

All set?

Come on!

Open the doors.

Let us through!

Move!

Well done, dear.

- I'm proud of you. - Well done.

- Thanks. - Come here!

I told you.

- No way. - I did!

I'm a witness.

No, he's lying.

- Let's drink. - Hello?

Where are you?

Simon, Vincent, Mum...

Yeah?

OK, don't worry.

A drop more.

It doesn't matter.

Yeah.

Yeah, thanks.

OK, take care.

Dad won't be coming.

Maybe later.

No.

I don't think so.

- Shall we drink? - Yes!

Here, Mum...

A present.

It's not much.

Thanks.

- The best in Paris. - So they say.

Come on, man...

You're crushing me.

Thanks.

To you, dear!

To all your hard work.

- To your future! - Cheers.

Good evening.

Well?

- Good. - Good?

I aced it.

Aced it?

I'm very well ranked.

My results are very good.

Thank you.

Good night.
