, Shemer, Illinois. Dear Mr. Vernon, we admit this fact, that It’s that we had to be detained on such a Saturday for our respective mistakes. We did make mistakes. But we think it’s really unreliable for you to ask us to write a short self-evaluation essay. You really care about who we are. What kind of person?

We were all brainwashed back then."
The Mr. Vernon referred to in this article is the teacher responsible for supervising the five students who were sentenced to stay in school. A middle-aged man who was once full of ambition and devoted himself to education. But years have turned young people into middle-aged people, and life has turned his career into a paid job.
The filming time of this film is less than two months, but this does not prevent this youth film from digging into the depths of the characters, and it has the same influence on adults. It can be called a classic.
