The principal at a local high school, Germán, has developed a reputation among the students and teachers for his unorthodox methods. When he comes down hard on the rebellious Cata for suspected drug use, he discovers there is more to her story. He sets out to help her, a decision with precipitous consequences. This psychological thriller set in small-town Argentina raises far-reaching questions about the role of educators in the lives of their students. (Chicago Film Festival Review)
