"Zero for Conduct" is a 1933 French film directed by Jean Vigo. It tells the story of four young boys who attend a strict and repressive boarding school in France. Frustrated with the school's rigid rules and behavioral expectations, the boys decide to rebel against the director on a special celebration day.

The protagonist, Violette, along with his friends Petit Gibus, Tabard, and Bruel, begin planning their rebellion. They feel suffocated by the authoritarian environment and long for freedom and self-expression. The boys' resentment becomes even stronger when they witness the unfair treatment of one of their classmates by the school's authoritarian faculty.

The celebration day arrives, and the boys take advantage of the chaos and excitement to carry out their rebellion. They lead a revolt with their fellow students against the teachers and the oppressive system. The rebellion includes various mischievous acts such as throwing ink onto a professor, sabotaging the school's trophy showcase, and leading a marching band through the corridors.

As their rebellion escalates, the boys gain support from other students who also despise the school's oppressive environment. The students barricade themselves inside the school, defying the director's authority and demanding more freedom and leniency.

In the climax of the film, the director tries to regain control by threatening to expel the boys. However, their rebellion strikes a chord with some sympathetic teachers who empathize with their desire for individuality and a less restrictive educational system. These teachers eventually side with the students, leading to a confrontation with the director.

The film concludes with a joyous and triumphant ending as the rebellion succeeds in challenging the school's rigid establishment. The boys, empowered by their actions and the support they received, celebrate their victory by climbing onto the rooftop and shouting "Zero for Conduct!" – a rallying cry against the confining rules and norms of the boarding school.

"Zero for Conduct" is a compelling and timeless exploration of rebellion, youth empowerment, and the inherent need for freedom and self-expression in an oppressive and authoritative environment. It serves as a critique of oppressive educational systems and a celebration of the indomitable spirit of youth.
