How's your Wrist?
Sterre.
- Marloes.
Okay, Jochem.
sports are good for you.
Five stay on the field,
the rest to the sideline.
Play together.
Yes, Jochem.
Porky Pie, you must die.
Is it really so hard to
throw a normal ball?
You're such a loser.
Come on guys.
I have everything.
- Let's go.
Not a Word.
Are you looking for something?
Hey fatty.
For your titties.
Technically you belong with the girls.
Shall We bring you?
Calm down.
We can't lift him.
What's going on in there?
You'd think it's the girls' room.
Hurry up, I Want to lock up.
Come guys, group photo!
A bit closer together.
Yes, great.
Photography is my second calling.
Chin up, stand straight,
tuck your tummy.
You'll look like the fittest class
of the northern hemisphere.
You'll have to,
with me as your mentor.
Can the last row see me?
Show you're having fun.
Smile, you're having a good time.
Here it goes!
Five, four, three, two, one...
Tino!
Can I join you?
Yes of course.
I love French fries.
Did you finish yours?
Hey Jochem!
Are you hungry Jochem?
There's plenty.
Thanks, that's enough.
Some fat to feed your pimples.
Here comes a plane.
I don't think he Wants to eat.
Can you move over?
Why doesn't Jochem
stick up for himself?
He's not a child.
Three against one, that's not fair.
He should eat more healthily.
Indeed.
He eats exactly the same as you.
Why Won't you eat?
Let us help you.
See, here.
Sanne, you're going too far.
We're just fooling around.
I guess it's part of school camp.
Photo!
You've got ketchup on your nose.
Just a little bit.
Have a napkin to Wipe your face.
- Enjoy your meal, pig.
Jochem Justin Sanne Remco
David
You don't have to.
I don't?
A good Way to burn some calories.
You didn't make that up yourself.
We're almost there,
only 12 miles.
Just pedal on.
We're almost there.
Keep a steady tempo.
Good.
Hey slowpoke,
can't you move any faster?
Come on.
This is David speaking.
Hi David,
is your mom home?
No Grandma, she's not.
Tell her tuning the piano
cost 10 euros more.
Every time he charges more.
I think he's a fraud.
Or the piano is more out of tune.
I Wouldn't be surprised.
You should hear those oafs
hitting the keys.
No talent whatsoever.
I'll give her the message.
Who's that?
Is that your mom?
It's Grandma.
- Answer me.
That's me, I dropped my bag.
I just got back from camp.
Don't make a mess.
Your mother is very busy.
Oh,
when will she clean my house?
Probably never.
She started her new job.
Come, let me talk to her.
Hi Mom, how are you?
So you are there.
How's your hip?
You can go home kid,
We'll take it from here.
Can I stay with him for a While?
Yes, sure.
He has no chip.
So you can't track down the owner?
They often know exactly
how to stay anonymous.
What happens next?
He'll stay here to recover.
Then We'll decide What happens.
I'm in my own space
minding my own
I don't know What's going on
outside myself
Let alone What others go through
I'll just go on doing my thing
I Won't adapt
and can't feel your stress
Call me strange
but this is who I am
I understand if people say
he ignores the pain
he felt for so long
are you really so cold-hearted...
Shit.
English test tomorrow.
But We're on a roll.
No We're not.
Can't We find a female singer?
So What will it be?
Study English or make music?
Make music.
That's What I thought.
David, your phone is ringing.
Hello?
Did I Wake you, sleepyhead?
I Woke up half an hour ago.
Go back to bed,
We have no math class today.
Can you call Vera?
But Jochem is next on my list.
You can skip Jochem,
he's sick.
School just told me.
Okay, I'll call Vera.
Okay, bye.
Are you alright?
- Yes, thanks.
Who's this?
It's David.
Hi David.
It's Vera.
I know.
The bottle fell.
What bottle?
My nail polish.
It's a mess here.
No need to rush.
We have no math class.
Nice, so I can study English.
VWI you call the next on the list?
- I will.
David, how come you call me?
Jochem is sick.
I like that.
Him being sick?
No, you calling me.
I mean, it's a nice change.
Well, good luck with your nail polish.
Good luck with your nail polish.
Why are you here?
Aren't you sick?
No, I've been Waiting here
for two hours.
I'm sorry,
I should have called you.
Stare at your own tits,
you fat pig.
These stains will never come out.
And his saddle.
What is she doing?
Jochem deserved it.
They can't do that to him.
Hey, out that out.
And if you squeal on us, David...
We'll puncture it again tomorrow.
How are you?
He's already looking better,
isn't he?
What happens if nobody
comes for him?
We Wait until somebody Wants him.
Can I apply for that?
Yes, sure.
I'll grab a form.
Thanks.
Why are you here?
L...
Here.
- Thanks.
He's Writing his name down.
- For What?
For that dog he found.
You found a dog?
When?
Well I...
Thanks.
He was riding his bike
in the dunes and found this dog.
You came back from camp, right?
- Right.
Camp? I was there
but I didn't see a dog.
We're in the same class.
He called. Stayed with the dog,
took care of it.
Fill out that form.
And don't mind her.
We're happy if he finds a good home.
Right, Vera?
Sorry.
I'm surprised to see you here.
Me too.
What are you doing here?
I Work here.
I'm a volunteer.
What can I get you?
Chocolate milk.
You should drink Water instead.
It's healthy.
And it doesn't stain.
Where's your bike?
It has a flat tire.
You could hop on but
We'd end up with another flat tire.
You really did a good job
with that dog.
Bye.
Looking for something?
My textbook.
Better get up early tomorrow.
You know What Sourpuss is like.
Here.
Take mine.
What about you?
I'm good at French.
Hey Sanne.
Is everything alright?
At home?
Yes, Well. What can I say?
If you Want to talk about it...
Talk?
That doesn't help.
You can always come to me.
Or another mentor.
I'll try to remember that
when I Wipe his ass.
Just kidding.
If you can't take a joke
there's nothing left to laugh about.
Indicatif pass compos
et indicatif imparfait.
Which one did I forget to mention?
That's
indicatif plus-que-parfait.
The next assignment
is to determine the infinitif.
We'll do so
on page quatre-vingt seize.
And What is that in Dutch?
Jochem?
Didn't you bring your book?
- I thought I did.
But you didn't.
- I packed it this morning.
I hate students
who Won't bring their book.
I hate them even more
if they lie about it.
Troi. You can leave now.
- But I know I...
David, can you give me the answer?
Alors,
I don't have all day.
Past perfect tense.
How long have you been
standing there?
You have an amazing voice.
Are you an expert?
I have a band.
Punt Uit.
I heard of you.
What's that to do with me?
Maybe you'd like to come and listen.
Or better yet, sing?
Okay, let me think about it.
Here's my number.
I'm David.
I'm Nienke.
Let's take your picture.
Excuse me.
I'll text you.
You owe me a book.
What a lousy thing to do.
You think so?
I also thought it was so sad.
But David,
you could have stood up.
You could have said
you had his book.
But you didn't.
Good going.
Is that how she manipulates you?
- Worse.
You should thank her.
- For What?
He has detention for three days.
She saved you.
- And you know it.
I'm came to return Jochem's textbook.
Come in.
Are you in his class?
Yes.
Have some,
that's What they're for.
He's with that girl.
Vera.
I don't know her
and it's none of my business.
A girlfriend would do him good.
Do you have a girlfriend?
- No.
That's good to hear.
I thought he was
the only one who didn't...
Well, What do I know.
I'd be happy for him.
I really have to...
Here's his book.
Thanks for bringing it by.
You're David, right?
I'll tell him you were here.
Come back anytime.
It's nice to meet a classmate.
Here.
- Thanks.
What's that?
Oh that?
I sat too close to a fire once.
It suddenly started shooting sparks.
That's terrible.
Do I need to bury you?
Oh no, it's still alive.
What time is it?
Don't Worry, it's Saturday.
I have a little job for you.
Be ready in fifteen minutes.
You've slept long enough.
Your mom Works,
so I have to do everything.
Do you know What time it is?
It's Saturday.
I asked What time it is,
not What day.
Time to hire a maid.
Kids have no discipline.
When I was young
you'd practice until you dropped.
Nowadays they come home
and stop practicing.
You can't learn the piano
Without practice.
You're not listening.
Yes I am.
You were talking about discipline.
One of them can go straight
to the conservatory.
He comes twice a Week
and practices at home.
Cinema tonight?
A rare talent.
There.
Beef roll?
I'll just have some vegetables.
But you always like these.
I'll just have some vegetables.
Daddy made such a nice meal.
Did you see Niels and Youssef?
No, not yet.
How are you?
Good.
And how's Jochem?
I don't know.
Why?
I heard you see each other often.
Oh yes, at the shelter.
He's adopting a dog.
I Work there.
Hey, I heard We have
a new rock chick?
I just told Niels.
Is she hot?
Didn't you take her picture?
You have her picture?
Show us.
Come on.
She's smoking hot.
And speaking of beautiful ladies...
Look, our new band member.
Is she hot or not?
- Be honest.
She is, isn't she?
Did you have fun tonight?
I have to Write
about local schools.
My boss mentioned your school.
Don't even think about it.
What better source
of inside information?
I Wouldn't be able
to show my face anymore.
You exaggerate everything.
You underestimate everything.
Look at your new job.
It's Saturday, midnight.
And you're still Working.
You're right, I must be crazy.
I'll tell my boss
there's a conflict of interest.
Write some praising stories.
That's What people Want to read.
But is it the truth?
Everybody loves their own school.
That's enough guys.
We don't Want to cripple him.
You're not rid of us yet.
You still have to pay for my shirt.
Jochem do you Want some tea?
No I have homework.
Mrs Smit speaking.
This is Jochem.
I hurt my hand
so I can't come for a While.
I'm sorry to hear that.
Hold on.
Let's hear it with our music.
I Want to Walk on clouds
I Want to drink on the moon
I Want to dance with the stars
and stand on the sun.
Yeah, baby take me with you
No Worries, nobody around
Sometimes I'm fed up
and need to be alone
Good, stop.
I've heard enough.
We have a new singer.
Didn't I tell you?
Sorry guys,
but I'm not convinced.
You sound like Phoebe
from Friends.
Are you tone-deaf?
You're great.
Really very good.
Was it them again?
I'm calling the principal.
- Don't.
I don't Want to be the school dork.
I'll call you in sick.
Until you feel better.
What can I do to comfort you?
Do those bastards know
What they're taking away from us?
What will you call him?
Simbad.
Nice. Unusual.
Shall We fill out the forms?
What's that on yourjaw?
I had my Wisdom tooth pulled.
Nothing serious.
Focus, come on.
Ready?
Vera is at bat.
Take positions.
Youssef.
To the back.
- Come on.
Great!
Very nice Vera.
Sorry.
It's alright.
Do you know What's up with Jochem?
He had his Wisdom tooth pulled.
That doesn't take two Weeks.
Shall We go see him?
You and me?
Yes.
See his new dog?
Go with Nienke.
Look Who's back.
Our slice of pork.
I don't think anybody missed you.
You still have an outstanding debt.
Remember?
Nod.
Good boy.
Look at those hard Workers.
A sight for sore eyes.
And so very quiet.
It's a bit frightening.
Can I have your attention?
Class party in two Weeks.
We'll have it at my house.
Casa el Tino.
I'll take care of the barbecue
and you can handle the rest.
Beer!
no alcohol.
Don't be childish.
Out of the question.
If I see it I must say something.
And I don't see so Well, so...
Seriously,
no alcohol.
There's more news.
The group photo.
One for you.
And the portrait I took
of every one of you.
It is a stunner,
if I do say so myself.
And Jochem, here you go.
I'll get the order forms
for extra prints.
What a nice picture Jochem,
very becoming.
Really handsome.
- Indeed.
I'd like to have one for my diary.
I'll out it out and paste it in there.
How do you like that?
When I think about you
I can look at it.
Look, isn't that fun?
Give it a nice border.
Very professional.
Here rests Jochem.
V\th a cross.
R. I.P.
Stop it.
You think it's funny?
I do.
I understand it's not funny
when you love Porky.
Shut up.
Shack up in a pigpen.
I'll make you a large hay bed.
Better make that extra large.
Who'll shack up in a pigpen?
Vera and Jochem.
It's just a bit of fun.
Some humor.
Why do you put up with it?
Your victim role provokes them.
That's Why they Won't stop.
Now I have to deal with it.
Are you coming?
Is Jochem here as Well?
Jochem?
You always do homework together.
Next up is Bas Keizer,
the small pile there.
Mees Larsen.
Here, this one's yours.
Sign before you leave.
Justin van der Lek.
Is your friend still sick?
- Yeah.
That pile is yours.
Ine Meyer.
Hi David,
What brings you here?
I'll be right back Mom.
Tell me What you Want
but you're not Justin van der Lek.
Piss off David.
You're doing Justin's paper round.
It doesn't concern you.
We're supposedly doing
homework together.
Those guys are going too far.
They promised
to stop tormenting me.
Once I paid my debt.
And you believe them?
When are you done?
Saturday.
If they break their promise
I'll help you.
I must go now.
Did you finish that school article?
Why are you asking?
No reason.
Yes it's finished.
Now I have to Write
about day care centers.
What's going on?
It's Saturday.
I have a small job to do.
I'm helping you today.
Don't you have anything better to do?
No.
You?
Come, give me half.
Thanks for helping.
You're Welcome.
I had fun.
Do you have plans for tonight?
I have band practice.
Why?
No reason.
I figured maybe
We could do something.
Like What?
- Nothing special.
I'll see you tomorrow at the party.
You're coming, aren't you?
This is my third school.
You Want to give them
the satisfaction?
And myself some peace.
I'll help you, remember?
If you have a solution
I'd like to hear it.
Music is my answer to everything.
I Want to Walk on the clouds
I Want to drink on the moon
Dance with the stars
and stand on the sun
This is my space
Take me with you
No Worries
and nobody around me.
The sausages aren't ready yet.
Here you go.
Chicken? One?
That's not a lot.
Can I have some chicken?
I bought organic meat for you.
You thought of that?
I'll have some.
How many?
- Three.
You brought Simbad!
Hi Simbad.
How is he?
He is fine.
And you?
Did you teach him tricks?
No.
What's Wrong?
Why?
- You're acting strange.
I'm in love.
Really? V\th Whom?
V\th you.
I know.
I Wish I Wasn't.
I think you're really nice.
I know you better now.
I like talking with you but...
I'm sorry.
I understand.
I'm revolting.
No, that's not true.
I'm in love with somebody else,
that's What's in the Way.
You have no feelings for me?
Well, no.
Not like that.
What did I just say?
I'm going back to the party.
Hold me tight
you make me feel safe
Always keep me close
Smile at the camera.
Not now.
Can I have your attention please?
Something has been bothering me
for a While.
I think it
concerns us all.
So I Wrote the next song.
We shouldn't be indifferent
but say something about it.
Let them hear our voice.
Or in this case,
Youssef and Nienke's.
I don't know Where to start
but I know if I don't
I'm part of the problem
Letting someone
be destroyed
when they cry 'stop'
It's unacceptable
to bully someone
It's hard to put into Words
but it's going too far
Much too far
We don't know What someone else
is capable of
Because We don't know
What they feel
Be a little less self-occupied
be more aware
because it helps
Happiness is never far away
Stay sharp
even when you're occupied
If you notice something
it might be connected
to the core of things
Sometimes I'm tuned off
but I can't ignore my surroundings
not concerned about other's problems
That's a great song.
Thanks.
Where's Vera?
Jochem is chasing me.
He said he's in love with me.
That's him.
Gross, you're puking
in the teacher's yard.
Big boys don't puke.
Let's show you
how gross that is.
Roll the little pig.
Piss off.
He Won't help you.
Nobody will because you stink.
How was the party?
I have a splitting headache.
Practice, practice, practice.
If you don't...
Looks like you had quite a party.
Sorry.
Pardon?
Excusez-moi, madame.
- Assieds-toi.
We read a text from
Sartre's play 'Huis Clos'.
Also known as 'No Exit'.
One of Sartres ideas
comes from this play.
'Hell is other people. '
What could Sartre
have meant by that?
I'm sorry to interrupt.
It's about Jochem.
I spoke his parents.
They say Jochem didn't
come home after the party.
Does anybody know
Where he could be?
Did something happen at the party?
Vera?
Vera is in love with Jochem.
That's not true.
- Look how she cries.
You haven't got a clue.
Guys, come on.
If anyone has information,
they can come to see you.
Of course.
Thank you.
I'm Worried about Jochem.
How so?
At the party he told me he loves me.
I turned him down.
So What?
I Want to find him.
VWI you help me?
I'd like to,
but not with you.
Do you really
have to be like this?
I'm already feeling guilty.
Do you know Where Jochem is?
No? I thought perhaps
he was with one of you.
But you were in school and...
I don't know who I can call.
We're looking for Sanne.
We're classmates.
I'll call her.
Sanne, you have visitors.
Close the door behind you.
You mind if I finish my dinner?
Sanne just cooked for me.
Enjoy your meal.
- Thanks.
Why are you here?
Do you know
how Jochem got so drunk?
Isn't it obvious?
He Went on a binge.
Doesn't sound like him,
does it?
We saw him near the pond.
The poor kid was devastated.
Disappointed in love.
In Vera.
You were there.
You could have stopped him.
There was no stopping him.
You rolled him around
in his own puke.
And What did he do?
He asked David to help him,
didn't he?
And What did David say?
He said 'piss off'.
Didn't you?
'Piss off'?
Maybe he took your advice to heart.
Let's not point fingers.
You broke his heart,
you said piss off.
And now you're feeling guilty.
Well, good luck with that.
You can let yourself out.
Bye Vera, bye David.
And now?
I know Where We can look for him.
Come.
This is it.
Simbad!
He must be close,
he Wouldn't leave Simbad alone.
Simbad, Where is he?
Service error.
Rotate.
May I have your attention?
I have sad news.
Jochem was found
in the dune lake.
Divers searched for him.
It appears he drowned.
All classes are cancelled.
Maybe it's best if you stay together.
Here, with Tino.
I Wish you strength.
I keep forgetting.
Can you copy this DVD?
It's a concert your grandma hosted.
Jochem killed himself.
A kid from my class.
He was tormented
by three bullies.
He drowned in the dune lake.
Sweetheart, that's horrible.
How awful.
Give me that DVD.
I need some distraction.
Can you set the table?
Let's listen to him.
I'm not hungry.
He plays beautifully.
That's Jochem.
Oh no.
Your mother called.
Oh dear.
I made him some eggs that morning.
He didn't Want them.
We argued about it.
On the last day of his life
I argued with him.
He was unhappy.
- He was in love.
Maybe that's Why he drank so much.
- They found alcohol in his blood.
They shouldn't have served
alcohol at that party.
Jochem didn't Want to go
to the party. But he did anyway.
I didn't see him until I left.
I don't know Why he drank so much.
All I know is I didn't help him.
He asked for help.
And I let him down.
I'll never forgive myself.
I regret that.
I'm really very sorry.
The police told us...
he'd been thinking about doing it
for some time.
How do they know?
He kept a diary.
They found it in his backpack.
Sweetheart,
get changed.
I'm very sorry,
but I have to Work.
They Want a background story
on Jochem.
Don't Worry.
I'll Write something nice.
What about the truth?
Bullying Cause of Suicide
Now you have to do it yourself.
I'm torn apart by it.
But he earned you 200 euro.
Yes.
I'll pay that back.
To Whom?
His body?
Stop it.
How many times
did he beg you to stop?
A hundred times?
Thousand?
This Wasn't What We Wanted.
Wasn't it?
For once you had
no control over him?
What do you Want me to say?
Say you regret it.
I start to realize you knew
something was very Wrong.
And I understand
What mechanism held you back.
But What about the teachers?
Your class mentor
didn't notice anything?
Why aren't you at school?
I'm suspended
because of the alcohol.
All I drink now is coffee.
I can't sleep.
I was blind.
I don't understand.
I knew Sanne had problems.
They dump it on your plate.
They're just managers.
They let me take the blame
and they stay out of harm's Way.
But they will organize
a beautiful memorial service.
Which I'm not allowed to attend.
I gave Sanne too much space.
That's my fault.
Take this.
Maybe you can use
some of these pictures.
Mom!
Today We remember Jochem Steeman,
who passed away so unexpectedly.
One of his classmates
Wants to say something.
So I'd like to give
the floor to David.
This is my class.
This is also Jochem's class.
This photo was taken
a few Weeks ago.
But Jochem is not in it.
Our class Without Jochem.
But there is something
of Jochem in this picture.
If you look closely you'll see
his clothes hanging in a tree.
One of the many jokes
each day was filled With.
Every day there was
an opportunity to bully Jochem.
Our class could Write a Whole list.
This is a page
from Sanne's diary.
She did this two Weeks ago.
We all witnessed it.
Nobody said something.
Except for one person.
Vera.
She stood up for him.
But did We listen?
Our class party.
Less than a Week ago.
No alcohol was allowed.
Our mentor said
'If I see it I must say something'.
But he also said
he doesn't see too Well.
But did anybody get drunk?
No.
Except for one person.
Not voluntarily.
The evening before...
he asked me
if We could do something together.
Like What, I asked.
Nothing special.
That's What We thought of him.
Nothing special.
That Woman is my grandmother.
'Jochem has a lot of talent. '
I didn't know that
until three days ago.
Jochem Wasn't Worth our time.
Except in order to bully him.
Bullying Cause Suicide Student
You spoke like a friend.
Thank you.
I Wasn't a friend.
I read his diary.
Some things kept him afoot.
Vera, the piano, Simbad.
And you.
You know the last thing he Wrote?
It's about you.
'For the first time I feel
I have a friend.
He has good ideas.
Like earlier today.
Music is my answer to everything.
Is it true?
Is that enough?
Tonight I'll play
with that thought in my head.
David gives hope. '
Sounds like a friend.
Police.
