Caín
1987 · Movie · 100 min. · Spain
In this unlikely children's feature, the students must cope with an extraordinary chaos of violence and bullying not only from their fellow students, who at ages six through twelve are adept in the savage use of guns and knives, but from their principal, whose thuggish ways no doubt indicate the probable result of such an upbringing. Amid these scenes of horror, Cain, one of the younger students, is bright-eyed, optimistic and is forever emulating his "betters." Only the kids' schoolteacher fails to get embroiled in the ever-pervasive violence around him, but only because he is too clueless and inept to do so.
