In this film the everyday reality of grade school is seen from a child's-eye-view as an obstacle course of degradation and abuse. Following 7-year-old Nora and her big brother Abel, we see Nora struggling to fit in before finding her place on the schoolyard. One day, she notices Abel being bullied by other kids, and though she rushes to protect him by warning their father, Abel forces her to remain silent, while he endures more humiliation and harassment by his peers. At Cannes Film Festival the film won the FIPRESCI Prize in the Un Certain Regard category and was nominated for the Un Certain Regard Award and the Golden Camera Award.
