Synopsis
A seventh grade teacher stands powerless in front of her class, an undisciplined tangle of thirteen-year-olds playing with their cellphones, shouting at each other and simply not paying attention. As the teacher addresses the children, her voice becomes gradually become more and more chilling and disturbing. She announces that she is going to leave the school at the end of the month. Overwhelmed by the death of her daughter, she cannot work any longer because she knows her child was killed by two of her own students. The murderers are too young to be tried for their crimes and the teacher will not reveal their names, nor turn them in. Post-traumatic shock and detachment seem to have granted her a searing lucidity, and her revenge will be painfully pure.
