Gaby is 14 years old and hates school. He knows that every day he goes, Guille and his gang will make his life difficult and dark: humiliation in front of his classmates, mocking and even beatings. The rest of the class doesn’t react out of fear. Neither his family nor his teachers are aware of what is happening. Gaby takes comfort both in Carla, a friend from school whom he’s in love with, and Silverio, an old pizza maker. Gaby is fed up and decides to take action. He can’t think of any more alternatives so he decides to listen to the advice of the pizza maker: an eye for an eye. Gaby is finally free, but he has paid a high price for it: he has learn ed that the world is a jungle where the strongest survive and there is no place for the weak. He has lost his first true love, Carla. To live like a coward is the easiest solution in a world dominated by fear.
