Director's Statement
After the research for the film had been completed, I couldn't get anywhere for almost a year. The story seemed "too big" for a first film, with a huge number of complex characters, which is hard to control. I had to mature for it, but I lost my way in the process a few more times. As far as the story is concerned, I was not interested in the real reason for the girl's suicide. This event was the triggering moment that pulled the story forward. I was interested in the dynamics of the relationships between the schoolmates, the way they used a personal tragedy for their rebellion, and the ease with which they blamed a professor. I was fascinated by how the classroom as a group protagonist unites around a single idea, but when the system crumbles, they argue between themselves. That is a classic pattern of revolutions, which need a common enemy to bring the group together. At the moment when the enemy has been conquered and the goal is achieved, the group falls apart.
