Although this movie is not a documentary, it surely documents a large part of the Russian school life. Valeria Gai Germanika creates an extremely realistic environment where the camera acquires an almost voyeuristic nature. The movie is filmed in an amateur style with uncut scenes and a hand held camera. The movie touches and examines the sore wounds of the young generation. The camera becomes an x-ray that penetrates the outer shell and reveals the corruption of the students and the teachers. The difference in values between the young and the old generation is portrayed in vivid colors. The preoccupation of the young with appearance, popularity, love, and sexuality clashes with the solid standards of the older generation. The sub cultures that are so popular in Russian are also portrayed clearly. The emerging skinhead and the Emo girl are like stereotypical characters that exist in every school.
