Furthermore, the film critiques the institutions meant to protect youth: schools that look away, families bound by toxic loyalty, and a judicial system that demands absolute proof where only emotional truth exists. One pivotal scene features a confrontation in a school principal's office. The rapid-fire French, with its formal vous and intimate tu shifting as power dynamics change, is a nightmare to translate concisely.
