Synopsis

At 12-years-old, Jacques (future director Jacques Tati) is more than six feet tall, while his classmates are one foot or more shorter. This morning is the day of the class photo, where the photographer tries in vain to line up the students in a way to balance out the picture, looking for good symmetry. But where should Jacques, standing beside his classmates, be placed in this photo?
