Die Schule brennt und wir wissen warum

Art/Drama, Germany 2023

Looking away is a choice too: a haunting film about bullying and the courage to stop staying silent

Rita is a silent observer of the injustices that take place every day at her school. To document these incidents, she breaks into the school at night, photographs the scenes, and turns them into artistic collages. When her activist classmate Raquel catches her in the act one night, the two join forces in a final attempt to expose the power struggles at their school.
