At the prestigious Victor-Hugo High School in Paris, Gabriel Chentai 25 years old begins his first year as a Thai teacher. But between a class threatened with closure, students who are difficult to convince and two colleagues as attractive as they are enigmatic, his return to school is far from quiet.
On the one hand, Tadao Satô 28 years old, a caring and reassuring Japanese teacher.
On the other, Seok Kim also 28 years old, a cold and provocative Korean teacher who seems to enjoy destabilizing him.
Between tensions, rivalries and unexpected feelings, Gabriel may well discover that the languages of the heart are the most difficult to translate.
⚠️ Disclaimer
I specify that I am neither Thai, nor Japanese, nor Korean. I discovered Thai culture thanks to my love for Thai dramas, which then made me want to study the language and learn more about Asian culture in general.
Some comments or behaviors present at the beginning of the story, including certain hurtful or discriminatory remarks between the characters, can be shocking. They absolutely do not reflect my personal opinions. I chose to include them because discrimination and prejudice between some Asian countries unfortunately really exist, including between South Korea and Thailand, and I wanted to show this reality through my characters and their evolution.
This story remains above all a fiction centered on human relationships, cultural differences, the evolution of characters and mutual learning.
