Synopsis
Divided into seven chapters and taking place in an anonymous Estonian secondary school, centers around introverted Joosep, the butt of crude jokes from his classmates who are irritated by his taciturn nature. The only support he has comes from Kaspar, whom he sits next to in class. Anders, the leader of a gang, steps up his behavior towards both boys, taking things beyond the limits of human dignity. After a particularly repulsive incident, Joosep and Kaspar decide it's time to take action. Things will never be the same again.
