POSTING
NATA GAVE ME AN STD
"Suck my dick. Eat it whole."
SOFÍA FUCKED THE WHOLE CLASS
IN THIS BATHROOM
This isn't working.
MONDAY
It works perfectly fine.
-This is wild.
-I don't believe it.
-Give me a marker.
-What for?
-Give it here.
-Here.
-Look.
-Like this?
-You're going too far.
-No, look
-That's it.
-Let's go.
Let's go.
HI, I'M ALMA
AND I LIKE TO SUCK DICK.
Alma, don't you know
plastic is bad for the planet?
Natural is better.
Everyone saw him feeling himself up.
-He says it's a joke, a reality TV thing.
-That's a lie.
I'm not so sure either.
See? I don't have to put up with this shit
just because I'm a girl.
-Don't exaggerate.
-I'm not!
You don't get it.
I do get it, Alma.
I won't allow this sort of conduct,
but I can't justify an assault.
What?
Read carefully before you begin.
You have 45 minutes.
Sorry for interrupting.
I've come for my things.
Is something wrong?
Three-day expulsion.
How are you?
How do you think?
A three-day expulsion
because of that jerk.
Fuck, what a bummer.
I don't know what's going on.
Can you tell me?
You clearly pissed someone off.
Look at this.
Fuck.
How did they get these photos?
-Did they hack my phone or what?
-No.
It's easier than that.
Who took that photo?
Nata.
PutoAlfucking is Alberto's username.
Now you know.
Fuck!
Son of a bitch.
Hello, bitch.
I know you sent the photos to Alberto.
You're a fucking bitch, you know?
What a way to end
12 years of fucking friendship.
I'm never speaking to you again.
But here's a farewell gift, okay?
Your guy's dick,
in case you don't recognize it again.
Can you tell me what the fuck this is?
She was provoked.
I admit that boy behaved inappropriately,
but Alma's reaction was disproportionate.
Maybe a sex education class
would prevent this inappropriate behavior?
We'll discuss it
at the next school board meeting,
as well as
Alma's constant disruptive behavior.
Asshole.
THURSDAY
I'll see you in my office after school.
Okay?
Okay.
All right?
Okay. So when calculating,
it's important we make sure to include
all the foreseeable
ordinary and extraordinary expenses.
This way, we can manage
the resulting amount
Always look me in the eye.
Come in.
Will you tell me what happened?
That jerk felt himself up in my face,
so I kicked him.
It was no big deal. He played the victim.
Do you have a problem with that boy?
No, apart from him being a jerk.
I barely know him.
Goddammit.
You reacted very violently.
I'm sick of them picking on me.
There's graffiti in the bathroom.
They call me "slut."
Besides, I'm getting expelled for good.
The principal spoke to my parents,
and all the effort I put in
won't be worth shit.
No.
That won't happen,
because I'm on the board,
and I'd never allow it.
Do you trust me?
So why not tell me the truth?
The other day,
I caught a student sharing photos.
Photos
in which you appeared.
You know what I mean, right?
Why?
Why did you take them?
It was one day with my friend.
We were fooling around.
Right.
Do you have more photos like that?
Yes.
Delete them.
All of them.
Want one?
I mean,
what are you trying to do?
Is this a new way to score, or
I don't know.
To be more popular, maybe?
-Everyone does it.
-Right, sure.
Alma
That shit will ruin your self-esteem
and attract the eyes of bad people.
Got it? Very bad.
You're different.
You don't have to do what everyone does.
Next week, I can't come
to the orientation classes.
But Andrea will be with you.
Okay?
Are you okay?
Yes.
Right, you can go.
That last photo you posted
is fucking great.
We have double the likes.
You were right to push it.
You know what? I had another idea.
We could take a photo of his car
with some dirty tissues lying around,
like he was cleaning it up.
You get me, right?
I thought it all happened at school.
It did, but some girl could see the car
and recognize it, right?
I don't know.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
The page isn't working as you expected.
You're frustrated and want to stop, right?
No, it's not that.
You're sick of me.
No, Berta. Please don't cry, okay?
So, what's wrong?
I don't know
if we're doing the right thing.
But why?
Why have you suddenly changed
You spoke to him.
I went to the meetings.
-I asked you not to.
-Nothing happened.
He didn't try anything with you,
so what I told you is a lie, right?
Did you talk about me?
No.
You've taken his side.
Berta, sit down.
No! I knew I shouldn't have told you!
Fucking stop already!
-Stop!
-Berta!
-Fuck!
-Berta, cut it out!
Never fucking speak to me again!
Stop, for fuck's sake!
Please, let her off.
This girl's crazy. She'll hurt herself.
-Stop the fucking bus!
-Berta, please, stop!
Please!
Berta, wait. Talk to me, okay?
-Leave me the fuck alone!
-I believe you, okay?
-No.
-Okay, I'm sorry.
You're a fucking liar.
-A fucking sellout!
-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Berta. Listen to me!
No! I hate you!
You've ruined my fucking life!
It's all shit.
No!
TRAFFIC POLICE
Can you stay with me?
Sure.
It wasn't your fault.
Okay?
Let's try to sleep.
Look at this.
-This is our bathroom, isn't it?
-Whose profile is it?
Someone called Coleman Miller.
It says she was raped.
What is it?
Let me through.
Let's go.
What's going on?
A student was raped in the bathroom.
Who?
We don't know.
Her username is Iamcolemanmiller.
Let's not get carried away with hysteria.
It may be a joke.
No one jokes about this.
Still, we should treat it discreetly.
You can't stop it now.
Three hundred students are sharing it
and commenting on social media
that a student at this school
suffered sexual abuse.
Even worse.
It says that a student
suffered abuse in this school.
That preposition changes everything.
Natacha, not now.
Whatever it is will have to wait.
Coleman Miller
is Alma.
How do you know?
I recognize the T-shirt.
She made it herself.
Was Alma raped?
Police central operations unit.
How can I help you?
I'll put you through
to the Female Minor Unit.
I was trying to roll a cigarette, but
Give it here.
Thanks.
FEMALE MINOR UNI
Alma?
For the record,
I'm Sergeant Mercedes García,
from the police's Female Minor Unit.
Well,
how are you, Alma?
I'll just ask you some questions, okay?
Who is Coleman Miller?
I am.
I'm Coleman Miller.
Are you the person
in the photos on that profile?
Yes.
I'm going to read your first post.
"This is me before I was raped."
Did you write it?
Yes.
Alma, are you okay?
Just a bit tired.
I understand.
I know it's hard.
But to open an investigation,
I need you to talk to me.
I know that. It's just
Did you make this story up?
No.
Then tell me what's going on.
Only you know the whole truth.
You promised me.
You mustn't tell anyone.
Two months ago, I was run over by a car,
and I ran into my friend Berta
in the hospital.
She told me
that a teacher raped her
for almost an entire school year.
STATEMENT FROM THE MINOR B.O.U.
Good morning. Is Alma there?
-Yes.
-I need to talk to her.
Come in.
I spoke to Berta's parents,
and I've looked into it.
Did you know your friend
had psychological issues
and was in treatment?
Yes, she told me that she had
a lot of problems after the abuse.
Actually,
the cause-effect relationship
couldn't be proven.
I don't know what you mean.
Well,
Berta was diagnosed
with borderline personality disorder
when she was 12,
long before she reported your teacher.
She reported it?
She told me she'd never told anyone.
Well, she did.
An investigation was opened,
but in the end, it was determined
that the abuse hadn't happened
because she withdrew the accusation.
She lied?
I don't know.
I've spent the night going over the case,
and with no evidence
or a formal complaint,
our hands are tied.
The case is closed.
Alma.
Are you okay?
"This page is fake."
"No one raped that girl."
"She's in my school, and her name's Alma."
"Don't believe a word of what she says."
"She's a liar."
I told you not to tell anyone.
García, I have a girl here
who wants to speak to you.
-Can you deal with it, please?
-It's about Coleman Miller.
Hi.
I'm Sergeant Mercedes García.
How can I help you?
I wanted to talk to you about this.
"The school board hereby informs you
of the decision to suspend your daughter
in response
to the violation of article 19b
of the internal regulations
on student conduct."
What a bummer, Alma.
Right.
At least your cop friend was nice
and didn't make a fuss
about my fake account
about a false rape.
Berta was kind of messed up in the head
and said weird stuff, Alma.
She was so convincing about it all.
Every detail. All of it.
Maybe I'm the crazy one.
What will you do now?
Your brother asked me
to go to the end of the world with him.
I said no, but
maybe I should rethink it.
Even more so after this.
Have you seen it?
What?
Look.
There are thousands of accounts
saying they want me dead.
What's this?
Look, delete the comments
or the whole profile, and that's it.
Good God.
Then there are these,
which are funny.
I feed their creativity.
I'm their muse.
People are crazy.
I screwed up, huh?
I screwed up big time.
I accused the only teacher who helped me
of being a rapist.
Go to school tomorrow and talk to him.
Apologize to him.
Apologize to him.
He'll understand.
Are you okay?
Run, okay?
Go on, run.
I'm going to tell everyone what you do.
I don't know what you mean.
Yes, you do.
What's wrong?
Help us set the table.
We need to talk.
What's wrong?
Berta was right.
My teacher abused her,
and he's abusing another girl right now.
-Alma
-Mom, please.
Listen to me, okay?
-We have to call the police.
-It won't do any good.
Besides, right now,
I have zero credibility.
You could convince her to report it.
She's terrified. I can't do that to her.
And he'd deny it all.
What do you want to do?
Shall we fight?
Tooth and nail, okay?
Okay.
Alma!
Let's see.
Are you all right?
I'm not crying.
-I'm not giving up.
-Really?
-Are you sure?
-Yeah.
Let's go.
Technically, I'm not smoking
inside the house.
You could clean up the butts
in the plants someday.
Someday.
You can't sleep.
Dad.
I get that this could cause me problems,
but I have to do it.
-I must do it.
-I know.
It's right.
I want you to know
I'm proud to be your father.
You were always a brave girl.
Tooth and nail, remember?
I forgot that.
I don't know when, but I did, and
I'm sorry for how I treated you
all this time.
The things I said to you, and
I'm sorry I hit you.
I didn't make it easy for you.
Don't say that. It's not true.
Please, forgive me.
I'm going to have to repeat my final year.
It's all right.
We'll find another school.
Or not.
Choose your own path.
I'll always be by your side.
If you want to run away to sea,
just let me know the dock to say goodbye.
I'll be there.
-You're trash.
-You're a slut.
You've got shit for brains.
Don't go to school.
You're in time to avoid a real fuckup.
Alma, stay at home. Don't do it.
Drop me off here.
This is fine.
Shall I go with you?
No, no need.
I'll be around.
Just in case, okay?
Thanks.
Go.
MARTIN BAUSSEN PRIVATE SCHOOL
Hey, come see this.
Alma is causing trouble again.
Guys, look. It's Alma.
-What's she doing?
-Who knows?
Is she crazy?
Let me see.
BEWARE! A RAPIST IS HIDING IN THERE!
I don't get why she does it.
Fuck, Mai, she's crazy.
She'll get expelled for this.
Screw her.
-Should I call her parents?
-No.
I'm calling the police.
BEWARE! A RAPIST IS HIDING IN THERE!
-It's Alma. She left yesterday.
-Good God.
It's okay. I promise you
it won't happen again.
POSTING
What's wrong?
This is the face of a rapist.
He's one of the teachers at my school.
Fucking bitch.
I'm sure that right now,
he's abusing another girl.
He's a sexual predator.
Alma.
Hi.
I'm shaking.
Don't worry. I'm here, okay?
-Get her out.
-I called the pol
-Get her out of there!
-There are more.
Shit.
Go back to your classes.
Take down that sheet at once
and get out of the school.
I'm not moving.
We've called the police.
There will be consequences.
I hope so.
Go back to class.
Go back to class!
Go back to your classes, please.
Stay where you are. Go back to class.
What a bunch of sluts and assholes.
Fuck, she's got some ovaries.
Nata, everyone knows
that Alma's a fucking liar.
I believe her.
Alma wouldn't make this up.
And I should've reported all of you.
-What? Shut your mouth.
-Not likely.
Alma's right. You should wear a sign
to warn people what shits you are.
Want us to bring up your fantasies?
No, actually.
We're leaving that subject
in the same place as our relationship.
What does that mean?
It means it's over.
I'm leaving you in the same corridor
where I first noticed you.
Nata, you love me.
There's no reason for us to split up.
-No?
-No.
What about sending photos of your dick
to my best friend?
You know sending that kind of porn
is a crime, right?
-What? Are you crazy?
-Totally crazy.
So crazy that I'm reporting you
to the school board. They'll expel you.
For fuck's sake, please.
Goodbye, Alberto.
Out of the way, idiot.
Nata!
One more thing.
They'll have to call the police,
so forget fucking Canada.
They don't want pigs like you.
I told you to get back to class! Everyone!
Get inside. Stay
I'm asking you
to go back to your classes now, please.
There will be consequences for everyone.
Go back to class! Now!
Go back to class!
I won't say it again! Please!
Out of the way, please.
Let me through, guys, please.
Guys.
You got here quickly.
We were on the way when you called us.
Come with us.
Get out, bastard!
Get out!
-Son of a bitch!
-Disgusting!
-Get out!
-Get out!
You did it this time, huh?
Why did you arrest him?
A student at another school
saw your Instagram profile.
She reported him.
I'm not ruling out more victims.
Maybe you should talk to her.
Thanks.
-What's your name?
-Bambi.
Can we talk for a minute?
Come with me.
This is me. My name is Alma.

Hi, guys. I have incredible news.
I've been hired as a community manager
for DJ Bárbara Lago.
I'm going with her
on a three-month European tour.
I can't believe it.
Wish me luck.
My brother's at the end of the world,
you're leaving, too,
and I'm here.
You're abandoning me.
Did he write?
And not to you?
Although he doesn't want to admit it,
you broke his heart.
I didn't lie to him.
Just a fuck, right?
I'll miss you.
I'll miss you too.
It's just three months.
And you'll be super busy
with college and stuff.
Besides, I'll write to you and call you,
and it'll be like I was here.
Yes.
If I have an off day
and want to kiss you and I can't,
I may get really sad, maybe even die
You're a great manipulator,
Greta Hernández.
Come here.
Did your hair stand on end?
My pussy hair, yes.
Hey, crazy lesbian! Help!
-It's a lot of luggage, isn't it?
-See?
It's three months, Dad.
Are you sure this is what you want to do?
I'll give it a shot.
-If anything goes wrong, come right back.
-Don't worry, I'll be fine.
I know. You're a brave girl.
Call me every day.
Sure, I will.
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
Get out of my house!
