Ceux qui rougissent

A dozen high school students in a theatre elective find themselves stuck with a substitute teacher for a month. As they recite Shakespeare from a safe distance, the teacher abruptly interrupts their rehearsal. In an age where young people hide their emotions behind a mask, their heads either too high or too low, the question of intimacy becomes increasingly inescapable.

Directed by Maud Konan, Johan Rouveyre, Julien Gaspar-Oliveri, Ceux qui rougissent leans on a strong ensemble — Ulrich Bapeneck, Mani Choukrane, Stéphane Erös — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
