Dijak Venja je prepričan, da so svet okoli njega prevzele zle sile. Razlog vidi v odmiku sodobne družbe stran od Kristusovih naukov. Ob vsaki priložnosti začne svoji okolici, tako v šoli, kot doma in v cerkvi, citirati Biblijo. Spravi se tako na učiteljico biologije, pohabljenega sošolca kot na duhovnika… Odlično režiran film z izjemno zgodbo.

Originalni opis filma:

After Venya's mother receives a call from school reporting her son's refusal to participate in mixed swimming lessons, she first suspects her teenager of being shy and derides his claim that it is "against his religion." As Venya is finally exempted by the school's devout principal, he grows confident that his strict and rigorous study of the Bible gives him the ability to manipulate all forms of authority. Challenged by a teacher who refuses to consent to his dogma, he sets out to eliminate her and subdue an entire community. At a time when arguments over the teaching of religion in public schools are prominent in the media, this wildly escalating classroom drama - based on a play by German playwright Marius von Mayenburg - serves as a frightening cautionary tale.
