To produce speech, a set of mechanisms must be brought together. What is the normal articulation for speech? How to produce the sounds that make it up in the correct way? A physiological analysis of the aspects of speech shows us how: the jaw must move in a certain way; the air must be expelled from the lungs in another.

Largely composed of archival footage, this film intends to make evident, through a montage inspired by Structuralist movements, the violence of this education.
