Pour faire preuve de réussite et gagner ainsi le coeur de celle qu’il aime, Clément Mathieu, jeune écrivain, publie un roman autobiographique : l’histoire d’un surveillant dans un internat de rééducation, dont la générosité et la patience vont faire merveille auprès des jeunes délinquants. Immense succès en salles après-guerre, cette oeuvre inspira « Les choristes » à Christophe Barratier, le film aux 8,5 millions d’entrées et aux 2 César.
