The Fall of Sparta

Steeve Simard, 16, is entering his final year of high school at Gaston-Miron High School in St-Lambert. An intellectual, he wishes he could be on the football team and have a girlfriend, but he’s small, nerdy and has no confidence. Instead, he spends his time in his room, reading. Steeve has had a crush on Véronique since seventh grade, but she didn’t know he existed. An altercation with Giroux, a star football player who is Veronique’s ex-boyfriend, brings Steeve out of his books and into the world.
