Class

This is a story about honor and dignity. A sixteen-year-old boy happens to protect his fellow classmate while the latter is being bullied by others. There is no way back any more - he has to go on protecting his friend. As a result, he must confront with the rest of his classmates, even the so-called normal ones. He is pushed away from the micro-community of young people. From that moment, unjustice becomes the main subject of the story. How much unjustice can one's dignity take? Where is the line between rebellion and violence?
