Documentary follows the boys as they navigate from grade eight to the senior school, playing video games, singing like angels in the choir, and alternately goofing off or napping in class. —Anonymous

Good grief

It's hard to feel nostalgic for your teenage years when watching this film. This film follows two kids, but in particular you see Noah bearing the brunt of his private school classmates. The film acts as a great deterrent against private school education, or boys-only schools.
