Kaspar and the class pushover Joosep are 16 and life in high school isn't easy. Without meaning to, Kaspar defends Joosep against the bullying of his classmates, but every time Kaspar tries to him, it backfires, with the class taking it out on Joosep. Kaspar just wants his friends, his girl and his unassuming life back. Joosep wants to regain his dignity and the chance to switch to a high school far away. But their classmates are relentless, going further and further with each incident. Written by Anonymous
I think it was one of the most appealing plot I have ever seen. It's in my native language so, it is pretty easy to understand and pretty hard to watch. It is a difficult movie about Kaspar and Joosep who are being teased and harassed at school. I was harassed a little too during my school years and i feel total sympathy for the two main characters.
I really loved the camera work, I have always loved Estonian camera work and the editing. Raw, tragic and lifelike. Ilmar Raag has done a great job by showing what is going on in schools nowadays. It's not only in Estonia, USA, or England for that matter, it's going on all around the world - school violence.
I don't want to spoil the ending, but it was pretty predictable and the plot is easy to catch, nevertheless it is a movie that is not easy on you. If you have been a situation familiar to this, not so radical even, you know what Kaspar and Joosep felt.
And as Kaspar said, It's about pride.
9,3/10 :)
