girl(boy), The (2002) - Details

The story: inspired in real life, we are here closely following the life of the typical Jekyll and Hyde character: a little manic-depressive teen girl that snaps from now and then into this agressive character. The twist? the passive character is performed by a girl (Leonora Taylor, 15) and the agressive by a boy (Fernando Dominguez, 16). The character is driven to take immediate action when she/he is constantly threatened by family, school peers, teachers and bullies for her/his anti-social behaviour. The result: media induced violence.
