Don't you have anything better to do?

No.

You?

Come, give me half.

Thanks for helping.

You're Welcome.

I had fun.

Do you have plans for tonight?

I have band practice.

Why?

No reason.

I figured maybe

We could do something.

Like What?

- Nothing special.

I'll see you tomorrow at the party.

You're coming, aren't you?

This is my third school.

You Want to give them

the satisfaction?

And myself some peace.

I'll help you, remember?

If you have a solution

I'd like to hear it.

Music is my answer to everything.

I Want to Walk on the clouds

I Want to drink on the moon

Dance with the stars

and stand on the sun

This is my space

Take me with you

No Worries

and nobody around me.

The sausages aren't ready yet.

Here you go.

Chicken? One?

That's not a lot.

Can I have some chicken?

I bought organic meat for you.

You thought of that?

I'll have some.

How many?

- Three.

You brought Simbad!

Hi Simbad.

How is he?

He is fine.

And you?

Did you teach him tricks?

No.

What's Wrong?

Why?

- You're acting strange.

I'm in love.

Really? V\th Whom?

V\th you.

I know.

I Wish I Wasn't.

I think you're really nice.

I know you better now.

I like talking with you but...

I'm sorry.

I understand.

I'm revolting.

No, that's not true.

I'm in love with somebody else,

that's What's in the Way.

You have no feelings for me?

Well, no.

Not like that.

What did I just say?

I'm going back to the party.

Hold me tight

you make me feel safe

Always keep me close

Smile at the camera.

Not now.

Can I have your attention please?

Something has been bothering me

for a While.

I think it

concerns us all.

So I Wrote the next song.

We shouldn't be indifferent

but say something about it.

Let them hear our voice.

Or in this case,

Youssef and Nienke's.

I don't know Where to start

but I know if I don't

I'm part of the problem

Letting someone

be destroyed

when they cry 'stop'

It's unacceptable

to bully someone

It's hard to put into Words

but it's going too far

Much too far

We don't know What someone else

is capable of

Because We don't know

What they feel

Be a little less self-occupied

be more aware

because it helps

Happiness is never far away

Stay sharp

even when you're occupied

If you notice something

it might be connected

to the core of things

Sometimes I'm tuned off

but I can't ignore my surroundings

not concerned about other's problems

That's a great song.

Thanks.

Where's Vera?

Jochem is chasing me.

He said he's in love with me.

That's him.

Gross, you're puking

in the teacher's yard.

Big boys don't puke.

Let's show you

how gross that is.

Roll the little pig.

Piss off.

He Won't help you.

Nobody will because you stink.

How was the party?

I have a splitting headache.

Practice, practice, practice.

If you don't...

Looks like you had quite a party.

Sorry.

Pardon?

Excusez-moi, madame.

- Assieds-toi.

We read a text from

Sartre's play 'Huis Clos'.

Also known as 'No Exit'.

One of Sartres ideas

comes from this play.

'Hell is other people. '

What could Sartre

have meant by that?

I'm sorry to interrupt.

It's about Jochem.

I spoke his parents.

They say Jochem didn't

come home after the party.

Does anybody know

Where he could be?

Did something happen at the party?

Vera?

Vera is in love with Jochem.

That's not true.

- Look how she cries.

You haven't got a clue.

Guys, come on.

If anyone has information,

they can come to see you.

Of course.

Thank you.

I'm Worried about Jochem.

How so?

At the party he told me he loves me.

I turned him down.

So What?

I Want to find him.

VWI you help me?

I'd like to,

but not with you.

Do you really

have to be like this?

I'm already feeling guilty.

Do you know Where Jochem is?

No? I thought perhaps

he was with one of you.

But you were in school and...

I don't know who I can call.

We're looking for Sanne.

We're classmates.

I'll call her.

Sanne, you have visitors.

Close the door behind you.

You mind if I finish my dinner?

Sanne just cooked for me.

Enjoy your meal.

- Thanks.

Why are you here?

Do you know

how Jochem got so drunk?

Isn't it obvious?

He Went on a binge.

Doesn't sound like him,

does it?

We saw him near the pond.

The poor kid was devastated.

Disappointed in love.

In Vera.

You were there.

You could have stopped him.

There was no stopping him.

You rolled him around

in his own puke.

And What did he do?

He asked David to help him,

didn't he?

And What did David say?

He said 'piss off'.

Didn't you?

'Piss off'?

Maybe he took your advice to heart.

Let's not point fingers.

You broke his heart,

you said piss off.

And now you're feeling guilty.

Well, good luck with that.

You can let yourself out.

Bye Vera, bye David.

And now?

I know Where We can look for him.

Come.

This is it.

Simbad!

He must be close,

he Wouldn't leave Simbad alone.

Simbad, Where is he?

Service error.

Rotate.

May I have your attention?

I have sad news.

Jochem was found

in the dune lake.

Divers searched for him.

It appears he drowned.

All classes are cancelled.

Maybe it's best if you stay together.

Here, with Tino.

I Wish you strength.

I keep forgetting.

Can you copy this DVD?

It's a concert your grandma hosted.

Jochem killed himself.

A kid from my class.

He was tormented

by three bullies.

He drowned in the dune lake.

Sweetheart, that's horrible.

How awful.

Give me that DVD.

I need some distraction.

Can you set the table?

Let's listen to him.

I'm not hungry.

He plays beautifully.

That's Jochem.

Oh no.

Your mother called.

Oh dear.

I made him some eggs that morning.

He didn't Want them.

We argued about it.

On the last day of his life

I argued with him.

He was unhappy.

- He was in love.

Maybe that's Why he drank so much.

- They found alcohol in his blood.

They shouldn't have served

alcohol at that party.

Jochem didn't Want to go

to the party. But he did anyway.

I didn't see him until I left.

I don't know Why he drank so much.

All I know is I didn't help him.

He asked for help.

And I let him down.

I'll never forgive myself.

I regret that.

I'm really very sorry.

The police told us...

he'd been thinking about doing it

for some time.

How do they know?

He kept a diary.

They found it in his backpack.

Sweetheart,

get changed.

I'm very sorry,

but I have to Work.

They Want a background story

on Jochem.

Don't Worry.

I'll Write something nice.

What about the truth?

Bullying Cause of Suicide

Now you have to do it yourself.

I'm torn apart by it.

But he earned you 200 euro.

Yes.

I'll pay that back.

To Whom?

His body?

Stop it.

How many times

did he beg you to stop?

A hundred times?

Thousand?

This Wasn't What We Wanted.

Wasn't it?

For once you had

no control over him?

What do you Want me to say?

Say you regret it.

I start to realize you knew

something was very Wrong.

And I understand

What mechanism held you back.

But What about the teachers?

Your class mentor

didn't notice anything?
