Movie description:
Cassidy doesn’t have it easy in school. His classmate Nick is constantly annoying him. And then a mishap occurs with Nick of all people. Throwing a stone at a magpie, he accidentally hits the hated boy on the head instead of hitting the bird. The injury is so severe that Nick has to be taken to hospital. The school principal looks for the guilty one, but no one wants to say they saw who it was. While Cassidy’s classmate, Gemma, saw everything, she doesn’t squeal on Cassidy, because she was also often a victim of Nick’s teasing. Cassidy doesn’t know what he should do. He didn’t after all injure Nick on purpose. His bad consciousness doesn’t leave him alone and he finally tells his mother what happened. The next day they both go together to the school. He walks down the hallway to the principle’s office on his own: he is ready to take the consequences for his mistake. The film impressively reveals, what it means to take responsibility for your own actions.
