What is going on here?

Take your seats.

And what are you doing

with that chair, Kaspar?

Nothing.

Alright, we'll talk later.

Wait...

So, you are also infected

by this trademark antagonism?

It is no infection.

Do you also want to show

your classmates,

that people wearing

trademark items are vain?

That is what you said just now.

Alright, let's start.

Maybe some words

about your last test.

Nothing to be happy about...

The picture is rather sad.

But there is hope.

And as my grandfather once said,

the harvest was sparse, but lean.

But I am sure that

if you go on like this...

Kaspar, you will come to the

backyard after the math class.

Got it?

What are you doing?

Thea

What is it?

Say it.

I don't want to go on.

And you think I want to?

Don't have the guts

to be anywhere else, now?

Some heavy metal - took a sh*t...

Kaspar, what has gone into you?

You were an normal guy.

That's the way it is.

Put your hands down,

I don't want to fight.

Get it, man,

I don't give up like that.

So, how will it be?

- You'll find out, in a moment.

Don't come closer!

Really cool guys,

picking on just one!

Go to the woodshed,

or you'll get worse.

You go to the woodshed!

Let's take him to the shed.

- Use your own head and think!

Go to the shed!

- Don't touch me!

What are you, always after Anders!

- You shut the f*** up!

F***ing idiots!

You f***ing move!

You think, that today

you didn't have to apologize?

Can I kick him myself?

- Okay, try. And a normal kick.

Be still, you f***!

Your kick is like sh*t,

he is still standing!

Paul was on the way.

- What? He was not!

Let's try it like in the movies,

that dude is down with one kick.

It is not possible!

Let's take boxing.

They hit each other

for, like, twenty minutes,

and finally one falls down

because of exhaustion.

But, Oll, you try it.

- Me?

Try to get Joosep down

with just one kick.

Okay...

Let him loose at the right moment.

Why the f***

are you hitting him in the face!

Everyone will se the bruises!

- So what?

Don't you think, man?

You won't hit again!

- That's for sure! F***ing moron!

See, Kaspar! Without you

it would have been over now!

D*ckhead!

- F*** off!

No problem, l'll hit.

- Hold him!

Be still, man!

F***, what did I tell you!

Nobody will fall after that.

Hold him, I'll do it myself.

Joosep, at this moment

you will ask Kaspar

never to protect you again,

because it will make things worse!

Alright.

What now?

Can you breathe?

What do you think,

you kicked him in the lungs.

I know!

Okay, let's say that

apologies are accepted for today.

And Kaspar,

this is a lesson for you, too!

Don't you f***ing protect him!

Let's go!

Yeah.

I can't talk to you right now,

I'll call you later.

No, everything is fine.

Bye.

Hi!

What are you doing here?

I don't want you

to protect me tomorrow.

What will you do tomorrow?

Nothing.

Just get your kick in the ass

and apologize?

What would you do?

What about shooting them all?

Or do, like,

God's law or something?

When you hit another person,

your hand will fall off.

And then we'd watch

these handless on streets.

Fairytale...

I think that

when the school is over,

I won't have to see

these bastards ever again.

Can you wait that long?

- Why can't I?

I have made that far,

I can go on.

Maybe I go to the Netherlands,

to study computer graphics.

Great dream.

It is.

So, I'll do nothing tomorrow.

Thanks.

DO YOU LOVE A FAG?

Day Five

Hi.

What are you doing here?

I thought that

if you want it that way,

you must go

to the classroom first.

Or they would attack me first.

Right, okay.

Well?

Having second thoughts?

Good morning, boys!

What are you waiting for,

the class will start soon!

Let's go...

- Ladies first...

Good morning!

What are you standing here?

Take your seats, the lesson

will begin. Hurry up...

Did you have a good rest?

Did your homework?

How do you feel? Good?

So...

Last time we talked about

French romanticist literature,

but today we'll turn

to Russian literature.

You may not imagine the influence

of French spirit in Russia...

Napoleon and Alexander I,

for example,

spoke with each other in French.

Today we'll speak about

'A Hero Of Our Time' by Lermontov.

The main character

acts like a villain,

but suffers like an aesthete.

The last to enter are fags!

Thea, do you love a fag?

Thea, wait!

Where are you going?

- You got, what you wanted!

What do you think

I should have done?

I don't know... Maybe not

entered the classroom with Joosep?

So, Joosep is to blame?

- Of course not.

You have this stupid thing

about power with Anders...

No!

- What, then?

Even if it is about power,

what is so wrong

when I don't want

to obey this guy's orders?

Must I be Anders's errand boy?

Thea, wait!

- But do you think of me?

Of course I do!

- Then why do you act like that?

Leave this Joosep.

I am not with him.

I don't know,

who is with whom.

Just promise

not to deal with him again.

If Joosep does not ask for my

help anymore, then, of course.

Do you understand

what you just said?

What?

Joosep is more important to you

than I am! - No!

But how should I know,

maybe you are fags!

And now apologize!

- I am sorry!

Joosep, do you have

any dirty laundry?

Did you take the things

from my room? - Yes.

Give this shirt

that you are wearing.

Wait...

What is there, on your chest?

Come here, show me.

My god,

where did you get those bruises?

Physical education class...

- And here...?

What's that?

Margus! Please come here!

- No...

Stand still!

Don't move, I tell you!

Take look at those bruises

and the chin!

Joosep, you had a fight!

- At least, did you hit back?

Are you crazy?

Who did you fight with?

It would be alright,

if he fought,

but I suspect that somebody just

wrote the commentary on his chest.

There were many of them!

- Who? I will talk to them!

No! It would make things worse,

I couldn't study there!

Right.

- What can be right here?

Who were they? - I won't tell,

it is none of your business!

I can handle it!

- Good! A man must handle it!

Or nobody will respect him!

- What are you talking about?

Look, what if they cripple him?

Don't you read the papers?

You are a macho man!

But Joosep is not!

He is a wuss!

Dammit, he must become a man!

KASPAR, I LOVE YOU

Day Six

KASPAR, I LOVE YOU

Day Six

It is really embarrassing for me

to speak of this...

Today I got a phone call

from Joosep's mother.

She told me that somebody

had beaten Joosep in school.

I want to know,

what you know about it.

If it is true, then

l'm really disappointed in you.

Joosep...

What do you say?

I don't say anything.

I can assure you - the culprits

will not graduate from this school.

And what comes next...

You can imagine that.

Joosep, leave the classroom

for a moment.

Will anybody tell me now?

What is going on in this class?

Toomas?

It is Joosep's own fault.

- What is?

He is such a jerk.

Toomas...
