Synopsis

A perfect memoir of childhood, the riotously funny ZERO FOR CONDUCT lays bare the misbehavior of pre-adolescent boys in the schoolyard in a fabulous display of pranks, epic battles, and ill-advised schemes. The film on which every subsequent coming of age story was built, in particular Truffaut’s 400 BLOWS and POCKET CHANGE.
