- [girl] You are trash. - [boy] You're a slut.

[girl] You have shit for brains.

[boy 2] You should be raped for real.

[Alma] Don't go to school.

It's not too late to avoid screwing up big time.

I mean, school's out in a week and what happened will be forgotten.

Besides, half the school doesn't know.

It'll go back to normal.

Plus, most people will just forget your name and your face.

Alma, just don't leave.

[breathes heavily]

Don't do it.

POSTING

NATA GAVE ME AN STD

[Alma] Suck my dick. Take the whole thing.

ALL GIRLS ARE SLUTS!!!

Dude, this isn't working.

MONDAY

What are you talking about? It works fine for me.

[cellphone bleeping]

- [girl 1] Dude, look this is wild. - [girl 2] I don't believe it.

- [girl 1] Give me a marker. - [girl 2] What for?

- [girl 1] Just give it to me. - [girl 2] Fine.

- [girl 1] Look, like this? - [girl 2] No. Too far.

- [girl 1] No, look. - [girl 2] Okay, enough. Come on.

[girl 1] Come on, quick, run away. Let's go.

- [footsteps running] - [door slams]

[ominous music plays]

HI, I'M ALMA AND I LIKE TO SUCK DICK

Jeez!

Look at her, look at her!

[boy] Alma, don't you know plastic is bad for the planet?

[boy 2 whoops]

It's better to go "au naturale."

[speedy drumbeat]

[dramatic music plays]

- [thud] - [grunts]

[Alma] He was touching himself. Everyone saw it.

He said it was a joke, something about a reality show on TV.

That's a big lie.

- I'm pretty sure he's lying too. - See?

I shouldn't have to stand for this bullshit 'cause I'm not a guy.

- No need to get dramatic. - I'm not dramatic.

How would you even understand?

Actually, I do understand. I won't condone what he has done to you,

but I'm afraid I can't excuse physical assault.

Huh?

[Andrea] Read it carefully before you begin.

You have 45 minutes.

[door opens]

Sorry to interrupt. I've come to get my things.

Something wrong, Alma?

I've been suspended for three days.

[Hernán] How are you?

[Alma] How do you think?

I got a three-day suspension because of that dickhead.

[Hernán] Fuck, that's bullshit, man.

I don't understand what's happening. I mean, can you explain it?

Shit, man, well clearly you've ticked someone off.

Check this out.

[Alma] Fuck.

How the hell did they get these photos?

- Did someone hack my phone or what? - Nah, dude.

It's way easier than that. Who took that photo?

Nata.

PutoAlfaKing is Alberto's handle.

Now you know then.

Holy shit!

Son of a bitch.

[sighs]

Hey there, skank.

I know it was you who sent those photos to Alberto.

You're actually the queen of fucking cunts, for real!

Way to end 12 great years of a fucking amazing friendship, asshole.

I'm never talking to you again in my life.

But first, I'm gonna to send you a little goodbye present, okay?

[tense music plays]

[cellphone buzzes]

That's your boyfriend's dick, in case this time you don't recognize it.

Can you explain to me what the fuck this is?

It's obvious she was provoked!

Yes, the boy was out of line, there's no question.

But the reaction your daughter had was absolutely disproportionate.

I wonder if including a sexual education course in the curriculum

could do a little more to keep the kids in line?

We will examine that in the upcoming school board meeting.

That and the repeated violations to our code of conduct by your daughter.

[Pablo] Tsk.

I want to see you after class, in my office.

Understood?

All right.

[heart thumping]

[teacher] All right? Good.

When it comes to calculating it, you need to make sure you've taken into account

all of the foreseeable ordinary and extraordinary expenses.

That way, we can manage the resulting value by simply taking...

[heart continues thumping]

[ominous music plays]

You'll always look me in the eyes, right?

[teacher] Come in.

Are you going to tell me what happened?

He touched his junk and got in my face. So I kicked him in the balls.

It wasn't a big deal, he just made himself out to be the victim.

What's the matter? You have a problem with that kid?

[Alma] Aside from him being an asshole, no, I barely know him.

Jesus. [inhales]

Well, that was a pretty violent reaction, you know? [sighs]

I'm just so sick of them picking on me.

There's graffiti in the bathrooms. They call me a slut.

He'll definitely expel me now, there's no doubt about that.

[scoffs]

They've already talked to my parents.

And all the effort I've invested into school won't be worth shit.

[teacher] No.

No, that won't be the case.

Because I'm on the school board.

And I would never allow something like that.

Do you trust me?

So why won't you be honest then?

The other day, I caught one of your classmates sharing some photos.

They were photos...

[clears throat]

...that were featuring you.

But you know that already.

Why?

Why did you take those?

I took those one day with my friend. Just being silly, we were having fun.

Right.

And do you have more silly photos?

Yes.

Wipe your phone.

Delete them.

[inhales, clears throat]

Want one?

I mean...

What are you trying to do?

Hm?

Is it a new way of flirting or is it a...

I don't know...

way to be more popular in school, or what?

- Yeah, it's actually very common. - Ah, right.

Alma, it's just that...

That bullshit will only crush your self-esteem and continue to...

attract attention from really bad folks, you get that?

You're different, Alma. You don't have to do what is common.

Mmm.

I won't be able to come to your tutoring sessions next week.

But Andrea will. She'll be with you.

Okay?

You all right?

Yeah.

Okay, you're free to go.

[door opens]

[Berta] Dude, that last photo you uploaded is fucking great.

Like, we have twice as many likes. You were right about heating things up.

You know? I have another idea.

Maybe we could take a photo of, like, his car, you know,

with some dirty tissues scattered everywhere.

As if he's used them to wipe off stuff.

You know what I mean?

But I thought it all happened inside the school.

No, yeah, it did. I mean, but I don't know,

what if there's some girl that sees his car and recognizes it?

- You know? - I don't know.

[Berta] What's wrong?

Nothing.

So the... the page isn't working the way you expected,

so you're frustrated and don't wanna do this now?

No. No, no it's not that.

[Berta] Are... are you sick of me? [crying]

No. No, Berta, please. Don't cry, okay?

So what's happening then?

Uh, Berta, I just don't know if we're doing the right thing.

But... but why?

I mean, why do suddenly seem to...

You spoke to him.

I... I went to the meetings.

- [Berta] I asked you not to. - Nothing happened.

And so because he didn't try anything with you,

you think everything I told you so far is bullshit?

[breathing shakily] Did you talk about me?

No.

You've taken his side, Alma.

- Berta, stop. sit down. - [bell rings]

No! I knew I shouldn't have told you anything!

Stop the fucking bus!

- Stop it! Stop! - [Alma] Berta!

- I said stop, dammit! - Berta, stop!

No, no, don't you ever fucking talk to me again!

Stop the fucking bus, goddammit!

Let her get off. That's girl's gone crazy. She'll hurt herself.

- Please stop already. - Stop this bus!

- [Alma] Come on, Berta. Please stop. - [Berta screaming, crying]

[Alma] Please!

Berta, wait, fuck, just wait. Talk to me, okay?

- No, I said leave me alone! - Wait a minute! I do believe you, okay?

- No! - Okay, I'm sorry.

You're a fucking liar.

Let go of me, don't touch me!

[Alma] All right, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Berta, listen to me!

I said no!

I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. You've ruined my fucking life.

Everything's fucked.

TRAFFIC POLICE

[poignant music plays]

Will you stay with me for a while?

Of course.

None of this was your fault.

Okay?

Can we just sleep, please?

Dude, look what is this?

- Isn't that our bathroom? - Whose profile is that?

Their handle says... Coleman Miller.

She says she was raped.

[head teacher] What's going on?

Come on, let me through.

Excuse me, please.

What's wrong?

A student was raped in the bathroom.

Who was it?

We don't know who.

Her handle is "I am Coleman Miller."

[director] Well, we shouldn't... let's not get caught up in hysteria.

This could be a joke.

You don't joke about this kind of thing, though.

Even so, we should handle this with discretion.

[Andrea] It's too late to stop it.

Three hundred students have shared this post

And they're saying on socials that a classmate who attends this school

was, unfortunately, abused sexually.

[head teacher] Even worse, what they're saying is

that this classmate was abused inside this school.

That proposition changes everything.

[knocking on door]

[head teacher] Not now, Natacha. Whatever it is will have to wait.

Coleman Miller.

It's Alma.

[head teacher] How do you know?

Because I recognize her t-shirt. I made it for her.

Alma was raped?

[telephone ringing]

[woman] Operations, Guardia Civil. How can I help you?

I'll put you through to the team right away.

[breathing shakily] Fuck. [crying]

Hey, Mom.

I was trying to roll it myself, but...

Give it here.

Thanks.

FEMALE MINOR UNIT

Alma?

I'm Sergeant Mercedes García from the Federal Judicial Police

of the Guardia Civil's Department for Female Minors.

Well, then.

How are you, Alma?

I'm just going to ask some questions, all right?

[tense music plays]

Who is Coleman Miller?

I am.

I am Coleman Miller.

Are you the person that appears in the photos on this profile?

Yes.

[Mer] I'm going to read the caption from your first post.

It says, "This is me before I was raped."

Did you write that?

Yes.

Alma, you okay?

Just a bit tired.

[Mer] I understand.

I know it's hard.

But to be able to open an investigation, I need you to talk to me.

Yeah, yeah, I know. It's just that I...

Alma, did you make up that story?

No.

Well then, tell me what's going on.

Only you know the whole truth.

Shhh.

Alma, you made a promise.

You said you wouldn't tell anyone.

It started two months ago, when I was hit by a car.

And I ran into my friend Berta at the hospital.

She told me that she...

was raped by a teacher for nearly an entire school year.

[ominous music plays]

STATEMENT FROM THE MINOR B.O.U.

[doorbell rings]

[Mer] Hi, good morning. Is Alma there?

- [Vero] Yes. - [Mer] I need to talk to her.

- [Vero] Come in. - [gate beeps]

[Mer] I've talked to Berta's parents and did some digging.

[Mer] Did you know your friend suffered from mental illness

and was receiving treatment?

[Alma] Yeah, she said she was

dealing with a lot of issues since the abuse started.

Well, the thing is,

we couldn't find any definitive proof that it was cause and effect.

I don't understand what you're saying.

Well, you see...

Berta was evaluated and diagnosed with borderline personality disorder

when she was twelve years old.

Long before she reported your teacher.

What do you mean "reported"?

She told me that she'd never told anyone.

But she did.

They opened an investigation.

But in the end, it was determined that the abuse never even existed.

Because she cleared the charges.

Why'd she lie?

[Mer] I don't know.

But I spent the entire night reviewing the case,

and unfortunately, if there's no proof or a solid accusation on record,

there's nothing we can do.

The case is closed.

Alma,

are you all right?

[Alma] This is a fake account.

No one raped this girl.

She goes to my school and her name is Alma.

Don't believe anything she tells you.

She's a liar.

[Berta] I told you not to tell anyone.

García, there's a girl outside who wants to talk to you.

- No time, can you take it? - It's about Coleman Miller.

Hi there,

I'm Sergeant Mercedes García.

How can I help you?

I wanted to, um, talk about this account.

"We'd like to inform you that the school board has decided

to suspend your daughter until further notice,

effective immediately, due to the violation of article 19B

of the policies set in the official Student Code of Conduct."

What a clusterfuck, Alma.

[Alma] Yup.

Well, at least your friend the officer was cool about it

and hasn't been on me about me starting a fake account.

About a fake rape, I guess.

Berta was just going through a lot.

And she said some really weird stuff, Alma.

Yeah, but she'd speak these things with such truth in her voice.

Every detail, everything.

[sighs] I don't know, dude. Clearly I sound insane.

What are you gonna do now?

Your brother asked me to go with him to the end of the world.

And I said no. But...

I should probably reconsider, right?

Especially after all of this.

You seen it?

Seen what?

Look.

There's probably a thousand accounts saying that they want me dead.

What is this?

Um, well, I mean, just delete those comments

or delete the damn account, and that's that.

Oh, my god.

[sighs]

Ah, well, then there's these, huh?

The funny ones.

Apparently, I feed their creativity.

I'm their muse.

[Greta] People seriously suck.

I really screwed up.

I've royally fucked up.

And I accused the only teacher who wanted to help, of being a rapist.

Well then, tomorrow, you go to school and you speak to him.

You offer an apology.

You offer an apology.

He'll understand, for sure.

["Nos Vamos A Comer El Mundo" by Juancho Marqués playing]

["Nos Vamos A Comer El Mundo" continues]

[music turns ominous]

[breathing heavily]

You okay?

[water dripping]

Run away, do you understand?

Run.

I'm going to tell everyone what you do.

- I don't know what you mean. - [scoffs]

Yes, yes you do know.

[door slams]

Why you standing there?

Help us lay the table, go on.

Um...

I need to speak to the two of you.

What's going on?

Berta wasn't lying.

One of my teachers abused her.

He's abusing another girl now, I know it.

- Alma, - Mom, please just listen to me, okay?

- We have to tell the Guardia Civil. - No, Mom, that won't do any good, besides...

I'm not exactly a credible source to them right now.

Could you convince that girl to report the teacher?

But she's terrified. I won't do that to her.

Anyway, he'd just deny it all.

I understand the problems that might arise from doing this.

But I have to do it.

- I must do it. - [Pablo] I know.

It's the right thing to do.

And I hope you know that I'm very proud to be your father.

You were always a very brave girl.

"Tooth and nail, 'til the very end."

I'd forgotten.

I didn't realize at the time, but I did...

I regret the way that I've been treating you all this time.

The things I've said and...

I'm sorry that I hit you.

- I didn't make it very easy on you either. - Don't say that. It's not true.

Alma, please forgive me.

You know I'll have to repeat my senior year.

It's not a big deal.

We'll find you another school.

Or not.

Take the path that fulfills you.

I will always be at your side.

And if what you want is to ride away on some train,

just say the word and I'll be there to send you off.

Without question.

- Choo choo. - [both chuckle]

[girl] You are trash.

[boy] You're a slut.

[girl] You have shit for brains.

[Alma] Don't go to school.

[boy] You should be raped for real.

[Alma] It's not too late to avoid screwing up big time. [voice echoes]

Alma, stay home. Don't do it. [echoes]

[Alma] Uh, drop me off here.

Here is fine.

Should I come?

No, no need, thanks.

I'll be nearby.

Jesus, Mai. She's crazy.

She's for sure gonna get expelled for this, dude. [chuckles]

Fuck that girl.

[indistinct chatter]

- [head teacher] Should I call her parents? - No.

I'm calling the Guardia Civil.

BEWARE! A RAPIST IS HIDING IN THERE!

It's Alma. What happened yesterday, remember?

I know.

It's okay. He's never gonna be able to hurt you again, I promise.

POSTING

[cellphones ping]

What's the matter?

[Alma] This is the face of a rapist.

He's one of the teachers at the school I go to.

That fucking bitch.

[Alma] I'm sure that right now he's abusing another girl.

He's a sexual predator.

Alma!

Hey.

I'm shaking.

Just relax. I'm right here, okay?

[pounding drumbeat]

- Get her out of here. - I called the Guardia...

- I said, get her out, fuck! - There's more of them now.

Ah, shit.

Get back to your classes.

And you, take that down immediately and step off the school premises, now.

I'm not moving from here.

We've called the Guardia Civil. Your actions will have consequences.

I really hope so.

Get back to class.

I said, get back to class.

Go on, back to your classrooms, everybody please go on.

Stay where you are. All of you, back to class.

What a bunch of whores and absolute dumbasses.

Well fuck, she's got some ovaries on her.

[Alberto] Come on, Nata, everyone knows Alma's a fucking liar.

[Alberto and Christian laughing]

I don't think so.

Alma would never lie about that.

And you know, I should have turned you in.

- What are you saying? Shut up. - I don't feel like it.

Alma's right. You should be forced to wear signs around your necks

that say what pieces of shit you are.

Want us to tell everyone about your fantasies?

Well no, not really.

Let's place that subject to the side, where it belongs next to our relationship.

- What are you saying exactly? - I'm saying I'm dumping you.

It's over, in the same spot where everything began for us. How's that sound?

Wha... Come on, Nata. I know that you love me.

There's no fucking reason for us to break up.

- No? - No.

Sending photos of your penis to my best friend doesn't seem like reason enough?

I think you're aware that sending that type of pornography is illegal.

- Are you crazy? What are you even saying? - Crazy as fuck!

So crazy that I'll have to tell the school board and they're gonna have to expel you.

Hey, Nata, don't screw me over, please.

So long, Alberto.

Get out of my way, idiot.

Nata!

Oh!

And one more thing.

Once they know, they'll have to call the Guardia Civil,

so forget about fucking Canada!

They'd never let in a little pig like you.

[indistinct chatter]

[director] I told you to get back to class. All of you.

Get back inside right now. Just stop!

I'm asking you to please go back to your classrooms. Please!

There will be serious consequences for all of you.

All of you!

Get back to class. Now!

Go back to class. I will not say it again. Please!

[sirens wailing]

[man] Move aside, please.

Let me through, kids. Would you please move.

Guys, please.

You got here really quickly.

Yeah, we were already on route when we received your call. We gotta speak to you.

[boy] Get out! Bastard!

[angry heckling]

[girl] You're disgusting. You have some nerve. Rapist!

[boy] They're gonna see you dead. Pig!

That was some scene you made.

Why was her arrested?

A student from another school saw your profile and felt compelled to speak up.

And filed a claim.

I won't rule out that there could be more victims.

You should still probably talk to that girl.

Thanks a lot.

I got hired as a community manager

So I'm going on tour with her for three months all over Europe.

I can't believe it's real.

Wish me luck, guys.

My brother is at the ass end of the world, now you're leaving.

And I'm left here.

You are abandoning me.

Has he texted you?

Has he texted you?

Well, the thing is even though he won't admit it,

yeah, you definitely broke his heart.

At least I was honest about it.

It was only a fuck, right?

Mm-hmm?

Hey, I'm really gonna miss you.

Miss you too.

But you know, it's only three months.

Yeah? And you are gonna be so busy with college and other stuff.

And besides, I'll text you and call you all the time

and it'll be like I never left.

[Greta] Yeah.

But, I mean, if I have a weird day and I just wanna make out with you,

I won't be able to and that will make me sad.

And I might drop dead.

Um...

You have an incredible talent for manipulation, Greta Hernández.

All right!

I know that gave you butterflies in your stomach.

In the vag, actually.

Crazy lesbian on the loose! She's insane!

- Wow, what a large bag. - Yeah? Well, It's three whole months, Dad.

Are you sure this is what you really want to do?

I don't know, but I wanna give it a shot.

[Vero] If you have any trouble, you come right back.

[Alma] Mom, relax, nothing's gonna happen, okay?

Yeah, I know. You're so fearless.

But call me every day, all right?

You're so dramatic, I will.

All right, let's go! Come on!
