一个师生在写作中试探和对抗的故事，网罗了法国各种社会现象。原以为女教师和学生之间会有点暧昧，想不到居然是纯粹的杀机。最后学生关于杀人动机的解释很精彩，一下把现实又推回给了文学创作。——所以，坎皮略是怎么做到一边拍“120击”一边和冈泰写出这剧本的？

This story of a successful crime novel author who is invited to a small town to take charge of a writing project is part social survey, part political documentary, with the potential flicker of a love story and the touch of a thriller.The Workshop conveys a stunningly authentic portrait of French youth today; their class, racial and occupational concerns. The seven young people in author Olivia’s (Marina Foïs) class represent a snapshot of France’s colorful young population, no intellectuals with writing experience among them (all are played by non-professional actors). Charged with producing a book to promote the image of La Ciotat, a small seaside town located in between Marseille and Toulon, Olivia soon discovers that the one subject which unites her students is murder – though they can’t quite agree on what kind of murder they should write about, or how to treat it.
