Hi everyone, I’m stuck on Step 25 of the Python OOP exercise.

The instruction says:

> “You should print `movie1. __doc__ `.”

Then I get this error:

> “Your class `Movie` is missing a docstring, so `movie1. __doc__ ` is currently `None`. Add a proper triple-quoted docstring inside the `Movie` class definition and try again.”

However, I already have a docstring inside the `Movie` class:

```auto
class Movie:
    """Parent class representing a movie."""
    
    def __init__ (self, title, year, director, duration):
        ...

```

I also have:

```auto
print(movie1. __doc__ )
print(series1. __doc__ )

```

I have tried running the full code several times, but the same error keeps appearing.

Could someone please explain why freeCodeCamp is still saying that the `Movie` class is missing a docstring and what exactly I need to change for Step 25?

Thanks!
