Synopsis
It's a story about dignity. It begins with a misunderstanding: a regular guy, Kaspar, stands up for the loser of the class, Joosep. It is an accident, a mistake, but later, when everybody asks why he did it, Kaspar will not admit his lack of intent. Instead, he claims his independence and defies the rule of the most popular guy in class, Anders. And so begins a war where teenagers no longer see where bullying ends and crime begins.
