Adolescence is a time of change, uncertainty, and, at times, crisis. The recent TV series explores these themes, focusing not just on who committed a crime but, more importantly, why. It follows a 13-year-old boy caught in a tragic chain of events, raising crucial questions about the social and psychological challenges young people face. The series highlights the struggles of parents, the pressures of school, and the wider societal expectations that shape a young person’s identity and choices.
One of the most powerful aspects of the show is its unique storytelling style, using long, continuous takes to immerse viewers in a fragmented yet gripping reality. It reflects how many young people experience adolescence—feeling unseen, misunderstood, or unsupported. The narrative explores bullying, isolation, and the consequences of unmet emotional needs, reinforcing the urgent need for early intervention and stronger support systems.
