Life seems peaceful and normal in a Dutch school, but in its corridors, beneath a façade of respectability, something terribly wrong is going on. For Jochem, a lonely overweight student, school is really a living hell, as he is constantly bullied by some of his peers. Although the abuse is getting out of control, nobody around him seems to care – even the gym teacher is too busy maintaining his popularity to take notice. Only fellow students David and Vera show Joachem any empathy, but by the time they take a stand, things have already gone too far. How much abuse can one young man take before he decides he's had enough?
