-[♪ somber music playing]

[dragon] I see you.

[pants]

I need to know who did this to my son.

Just kids being kids, nothing more.

[dragon] This is not kids being kids.

-I'm here.
-No, Kiri. You aren't here either.

[psychologist] That's why
you made yourself invisible.

[Capi] That's why no one ever
helped me. Because they couldn't see me.

Having powers isn't real, okay?

Did they do this to you
when you were a kid?

No.

And please, don't forget the meeting
with the families tomorrow afternoon.

I don't want any absences.

What about me?

BULLY

[Blanca] What have you done, son?

[dragon] Spit fire at him
and tear off his skin.

[teacher] I said "No!"

[roars]

This is from before the accident.

It's nobody's fault, is it?

It's nobody's fault
that half my son's head was split open

and he was covered in wounds.

[reporter] Seeing the dozens of messages

of support on the walls
of this high school,

it is clear how the accident
involving a student,

which happened just a few days ago,
has deeply affected his classmates.

You know a lot about villains too, right?

I knew one, yes. [chuckles softly]

[Capi] Did you beat him?

Look at everything else,
everything that's around it.

Say it was you!

It was you too!

DO NOT TOLERATE INJUSTICES

[Nacho] Jairo, let's go. Let's go, Jairo!
Jairo, let's go! Jairo, let's go!

He fell by himself, let's go!
Come on, Jairo!

Come on, dude! Let's go.

[dragon] One can learn to endure the pain.

[roars, growls]

[dragon] The pain ceases to have an effect

-[girl's mother] Yay!
-[girl's father] Yay!

[girl's mother] Very nice!
A photo, a photo.

All right, a photo. Smile! [laughs]

-[camera shutter clicks]
-[girl's mother] Awesome! [laughs]

-That's great, sweetie.
-[clears throat]

[chuckles]

Well, it's almost better
that your friends couldn't come.

More cake for us, right?

[♪ somber music playing]

[girl] I don't wanna go back.

-[dragon] You know you have to go.
-I'm scared.

[dragon] Show them that you're
stronger than them.

The very... strongest.

[♪ song playing through headphones]

[dragon] But once it's in you,

it will never leave.

[investigator] What I don't understand
is why no protocols had been implemented.

THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON ON HER BACK

[principal] Well, we implemented
the necessary protocols

that made sense with what was happening.

With all the information we had.
We didn't know anything else,

I don't know,
did you know what was going on?

Did you ever see him getting bullied?

[Nuria] We can't control everything
that goes on here.

[principal] We don't have
enough staff for that.

[Bacterio] I mean,
I think this is just kids being kids,

and I think that we're overreacting a bit.
You know...

[principal] Of course,
his happens every year.

-During recess...
-[Nuria] Totally, these things are...

[Bacterio] Being overprotective
of students may not work either, right?

[Nuria] Of course.
They have a relationship...

How can you all keep saying that?

-That boy never asked for help.
-It's not that easy to ask.

-[principal] But we were here.
-And saw nothing.

We'll tell the families

that we've conducted
an internal investigation

so that this doesn't happen again,
and that's it.

Has anyone bothered to ask him how he is?

You only care about the facts,
not the people.

And as long as that kid remains invisible,
this is not over.

[principal] Where are you going?
The meeting is about to start.

[♪ somber music playing]

[Olivia] Looks like this thing's
about to start, huh?

No, it's cool, yeah. I'll stay with you.

Kiri, don't worry,
Paula is on her way, okay?

-Thanks, see you later!
-Bye.

-Everything good?
-Yeah.

-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.

Hey, dude!

Look, this guy, here he is. What's up?
You don't check your phone or what?

-Your mom called you a hundred times.
-I ran out of battery.

-Hey, do you know if Capi is coming?
-[breathes shakily]

Look, there's Emi,
I'll go ask her if she knows anything.

There goes your mother, sticking her nose
where it doesn't belong.

Then send it now. What do you mean
you can't? But why can't you?

Hi. Do you know where MM is?
I saw his motorcycle outside.

-I don't know.
-No.

-[Blanca] What about you, Betty?
-No.

-[Luis] Come on. What? What's up?
-[Blanca] I don't know where he is.

[Nacho] We haven't heard from him in days.

[Betty] Kiri!

So, I... I just wanted to tell you
that I did it.

You did what?

I broke up with MM.

-[MM spits]
-[♪ tense music playing]

How does it feel to be beaten
and humiliated?

How do you feel?

Bad.

Now, we're even.

No.

Not yet.

[psychologist] Today's the meeting
at the school, right?

[♪ music fades]

-Yeah.
-[psychologist] How are you feeling?

Strange.

Of course. Of course, because they'll talk
about what happened, right?

They'll talk about me, without me.

You shouldn't let others do the talking
for you, don't you think?

-I don't wanna go back.
-[inhales]

Sooner or later,
you're gonna have to face your monsters.

-And if I don't want to?
-Hmm.

Well, then they'll be the ones
explaining what happened,

and only their version will be heard.

Nobody knows what happened.

I think you're lying.

I suspect that somebody knows.

[birds chirping]

[Capi] Why did you change
the grade of the test?

[teacher] I didn't change anything.
You changed the answers.

I know what's going on.

[♪ curious music playing]

-[Capi] How could you know?
-Because it happened to me too.

-[Capi] Did you also become invisible?
-What?

[Capi] You also got a power like mine,
didn't you?

You know what?

There are a lot of people
who go through what you're going through.

At some point, they've felt invisible.

It's just that no one talks about it.

[Capi] Why not?

Have you told anyone?

[Capi] No.

I didn't either.

Until my dragon showed up.

He came to give me the chance to be seen.

I have my dragon, you have your drawings...

of Super Captain Wasp.

You need to talk about
what's happening to you.

You have a problem.

I don't have any problems now,
since I'm invisible.

You need to ask for help.

If you don't, I'll do it for you.

[Capi] I thought about doing
what she asked,

but there was no more time.

[teacher] I'm going to tell you a story.

It's called "It's Not My Problem."

There was a little mouse
that lived on a farm,

when he discovered
that the farmers had bought a mousetrap.

Frightened, he ran
to warn the other animals.

First, he approached some sheep
who were eating peacefully,

and he warned them.

"They bought a mousetrap!
They bought a mousetrap!"

"Oh, mouse,

we're so sorry."

"We know it's a big problem
for you, but...

as you can understand...

it doesn't affect us in the slightest."

Disappointed,
the mouse went to the loyal dog,

whom he had always considered
a good friend.

"Dog, you have to help me,
you have to help me!" The dog said,

"Oh, mouse, I'm really sorry,
that mousetrap

but as you can understand,
the mousetrap doesn't really affect me."

Then, the mouse approached the three pigs
living on the farm and said to them,

"Pigs, you have to help me.
You have to help me find that mousetrap

so that I don't get caught up in it."

Pigs looked at him with disdain
and replied,

"Oh, mouse,
you're going to have to be very careful."

"We simply cannot help you.
It's not our problem."

And so, one by one,

all the animals on the farm
ignored the problem.

Meanwhile, the mouse spent his days

moving cautiously...

-growing more and more desperate.
-[♪ solemn music playing]

Terrified.

Like you would
if you felt like your life was at stake.

[nun] They played, cheated, and lied.

The clouds were gathering.

You'll find out later.

[nun] The rain began to fall.
Streams turned into rivers.

Rivers became seas.

And the flood grew and grew
until it covered the entire world.

Aren't you going to say something?

[groans]

[nun] Okay, enough already! Why are you
making so much noise back there?

[teacher] Until one day,
a sound was heard.

[bell ringing]

[bully 1] She has to be absolutely
sure that you're settling this. Got it?

[♪ tense music playing]

[door closes]

[teacher] Something had fallen
into the trap.

Did you forget how to say hi?

What's wrong, are you all alone?

Leave me alone!

[♪ intense music playing]

[breathes heavily]

[teacher] Everyone thought
the mouse had been caught.

[sighs]

-[bully 2 laughs]
-[bully 1 breathes sharply]

[teacher] The farmer's wife ran to see
what it was.

[♪ music fades]

And what she discovered

was a venomous snake.

And as she moved it,
it bit her on the arm.

Hey.

I know we haven't talked
much lately, and...

and that I...

well, that...
that I haven't been around much.

I...

-I don't care. It's not right.

I'm really sorry.

Me too.

I've wanted to give you for a while.

[Olivia] Kiri!

What are you doing?

You coming?

What's the matter?

Nothing, just...
we need to keep going with this.

When nobody sees you with me, right?

[breathes shakily] Come on,

You go. You'll be better off.

Mom, I'm okay, all right?

Let's just sit down, come on.

about the dragon.

-He saved me.
-Oh, yeah?

You haven't said yet,
if you defeated the villain.

How?

[inhales] By ceasing to be one.

-[♪ soft music playing]
-[door closes]

What are you doing?

Studying for Bacterio's test on Friday.
And you?

Detention.

It's best to sit in the back.

That way,
Bacterio can't see if you're copying.

[chuckles softly]
He'd definitely catch me.

I did it once,
and he could see it in my face.

Well, it takes practice.

That happened to me at first,
too, you know?

But with a bit of practice, you'll get it.

You need to train your peripheral gaze.

My what?

Your peripheral gaze.

Look.

[laughs]

-See?
-You're kidding me.

No way. Come on, try it out.

[laughs]

I can't see anything.
Are you messing with me?

Really?

Then how is it that I know
that instead of studying,

you're reading issue number one
of The Amazing Spider-Man?

I told you.

It's my superpower.

One day, you'll let me read that, huh?

Favorite superhero?

Superhero?

Venom.

[Jairo] Dude. Don't say it, please.

Where are you going, MM?

Hey, wait up.

Capi.

[principal] Nothing, the father
won't pick up.

[teacher] Then call his mom.

[principal] Please. He might have the flu,
or he could have just decided to skip.

All this fuss for nothing.

Please, call her.

But if they don't answer,
the story ends here.

[principal] Hello, good morning.

Sorry to bother you, I...
I'm the principal at your son's school.

Yes, you see,
we were surprised by his absence today,

and we wanted to know
if something happened.

No.

No, I assure you, the boy didn't show up.

[door opens]

[principal] Don't you worry,
I'm sure it's nothing. Thank you.

[thunder rumbles]

[psychologist] Why did you do it?

[Capi] I had to test my power.

No. You know,
you didn't want to test anything.

Why did you do it?

[Capi] I had to make sure
I could still be invisible.

[pants]

And that, no one
would ever be able to see me again.

I wanted to disappear.

Forever.

[Capi] Ten.

I would love him. I'm sure he is loved.

How can you not love someone?

to my birthday? Because you're a loser.

-[Paula] You turned into a weirdo!
-[Izan] Coward!

[Nacho] But I didn't push you.

about going out for recess.

-Loser.

-Coward! Coward!
-Nerd.

I deserve something better. You know?
That's why I picked the others.

[Luna] I want you to come back
to the room with me.

And tell me a story.

But not the one
about the boy that nobody loved.

One that has a happy ending.

[Kiri] You're amazing,
and I really admire you.

[Capi] Four.

I like you. From the moment I saw you
on your birthday.

Happy birthday.

[♪ music fades]

[psychologist] Okay, that's enough.
That's enough.

I told you about me, didn't I?

So now, it's your turn.

-What?
-[Capi] I've told you everything.

[scoffs] All right.

This is a superhero with powers.

And this is a fantastical creature.

Both of them, you created.

They exist because you gave them form,
they exist because of you, right?

Tell me, why did you create them?

Only you can tell me, all right?

Only you know the reason.
You're the only one who can explain it.

[Capi] Peter Parker was a normal kid.

-Just like me.
-[psychologist] Yeah.

Until he got bitten by a spider.
It's happened before.

-[♪ tense music playing]
-Peter Parker is a character,

a character that only exists
in the comics, but you exist here.

You exist now,

you exist in the school
you didn't want to go to

because every day
was a nightmare, every day.

No! I didn't wanna go!
Until they stopped seeing me!

Luna could see you, MM could too,
even after you got stung by the wasps.

But nobody else could see me.

That is the story that you created
for yourself,

the story that you invented, but for what?

I need you to put words
to what you've never said. Come on, do it!

I did it 'cause it was the only thing
that I could do!

-But for what?
-So that it would help me escape!

[♪ music stops]

Even though deep down
you knew they didn't exist.

Neither the dragon nor the powers.

Yes, the dragon did exist.

[door opens]

[♪ somber music playing]

[MM] What's up, Little Tomato?

[teacher] I always knew
you wouldn't ask for help.

[Jairo laughs]

Leave me alone!

[Jairo laughs] Look at him,
he's crapping himself.

[all laugh]

[teacher] Because I never did.

[Capi pants]

MM.

[teacher] That's why
I always tried to be there.

-[music concludes]
-[♪ solemn music playing]

[teacher] Trying to watch over you.

LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE TEST


[dragon] What are you afraid of, girl?

[teacher] Welcome back.

I'm glad to see you
didn't let a few wasps take you down.

I always see you.

[dragon growls]

[teacher] No!

-No!
-[dragon growls]

No. [pants] No, no.

[breathes heavily]

Hello. Hello, I'm on the train tracks
in Tunnel 18!

A child has been hurt. [cries]
Come as soon as possible, please! Please!

Look at me, look at me!

What have you done? [pants]
What have you done? [sobs]

I see you.

I can see you. [cries, pants]

[♪ hopeful music playing]

I can see you.

[dragon] I can see you.

[dragon growls]

[dragon growls]

-[Capi] I was always visible, right?
-[dragon growls]

[♪ music fades]

You always knew what happened
on those tracks.

And why you went there.

I had to believe I was invisible.

It was better than thinking
that everyone had seen me.

And that no one had done anything.

[♪ emotional music playing]

[Capi] The science teacher...

who didn't see me when
I was shoved to the ground at recess

THE WOMAN IN THE BLUE DRESS
AND THE MAN WITH THE BRIEFCASE

WHO WERE AT THE PARK
WHEN MY BACKPACK WAS DUMPED OUT

[Capi] All the people
who looked the other way.

ZARO FOR BETRAYING ME
DAD FOR NEVER BEING AROUND

MOM - ZARO'S PARENTS
KIRI FOR BEING ASHAMED OF ME

Kiri...

Zaro...

Mom and Dad.

Mom...

Dad...

I'm so sorry. [sobs]

-Come here.
-[sobs]

-[Mateo kisses]
-[sobs, sniffles]

[breathes heavily] I'm so proud of you.

-[Capi cries]
-[cries, moans]

[breathes heavily]

-[sniffles]
-You've done very well.

-[sniffs softly]
-[sighs]

No.

I didn't do well.

This hasn't helped at all.

[teacher] That's why I'm here.

-You have to go.
-[inhales deeply]

This won't end
until I confront the monsters, right?

You know? [clicks tongue]
You haven't been very helpful.

I'm going to put that in the report.
It won't look good for your record.

[chuckles softly] Don't worry about it.

I already know what you'll write
in that report and how this all will end.

You do? And that is?

You will find those responsible.

And in the end,
the solution will be the usual one.

The victim is the one
who has to change schools, right?

Because the best thing for them
is to remove them

and isolate them from everything.

That's the only way we can protect them.
By making them disappear.

-[♪ solemn music playing]
-At least, the truth will come out.

We'll know the truth in
the best-case scenario, but in the worst?

In the worst, this will all be forgotten.

Or someone will get a call,

and that report will be left in a drawer
in an office.

[sighs]

[sighs]

[phone ringing]

[teacher] Because deep down, there's
no interest in bringing this to light.

[phone ringing]

[teacher] No one wants to hear
that these things happen.

Go ahead.

What?

Of course I know who that kid's dad is.

And do you know why?

[inhales] Because deep down, we all know
that we won't do anything to fix it.

First of all,
we want to make clear our position

and commitment against violence.

We were never aware that these acts
were taking place within our school.

-[indistinct chatter]
-[principal] B...

but in any case, we want to inform you

that we have conducted
an internal investigation

to detect any involvement of our students
in the unfortunate incident

that we all know about.

Neither the investigator nor I have
conclusive evidence to prove anything.

-Calm down.
-[indistinct chatter]

[principal] Calm down!

Let me continue, please.

[indistinct chatter]

That's why, from now on,

we propose to work actively

to ensure that something like this
never happens again.

[indistinct chatter]

We will establish a protocol
to address these cases

if we detect even the slightest hint
of harassment

or violence in our school again.

To do this,
we will need your cooperation...

It was me.

-[indistinct chatter]
-Shut up.

-Excuse me?
-Let him.

Sorry, I don't...
Did someone say something?

-It was me who did it.
-[indistinct murmuring]

It was me.

And me.

[♪ mellow music playing,
Band of Horses "The Funeral"]

I did it too.

-Me too.
-And me.

And me.

Me too.

And me.

BULLYING IS STILL VERY PRESENT
IN OUR CLASSROOMS,

AND VICTIMS ARE STARTING TO EXPERIENCE IT
AT AN INCREASINGLY YOUNGER AGE.

IF YOU WITNESS IT, REPORT IT.

IF YOU ARE BEING BULLIED,
ASK FOR HELP FROM AN ADULT YOU TRUST.
