When one of the students commits suicide, her classmates accuse the teacher of being responsible for her death. The realisation that things are not so black and white comes too late...
According to director's own words: “I think film art should address issues which reflect the national as well as global society.

As such they are — knowingly or unknowingly — sensitive to everything happening to them or around them.”
