Don't look at me cadet. Do you want me to give you a photograph of me calato?

Drama

Four angry cadets have formed an inner circle in an attempt to beat the system and ward off the boredom and stifling confinement of the military academy, set off a chain of events that starts with a theft and leads to murder.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching look at the brutalizing effects of institutional conformity. It's a tense, simmering portrayal of youthful rebellion against a suffocating military order, where camaraderie and violence walk hand-in-hand.
