To Play or to Die
In this short motion picture, schoolboy Kees is intelligent, introvert and sensitive, but gets ridiculed verbally and physically at an all-boys school by mindlessly cocky class mates and even insensitive teachers, especially in gym, where his physical weakness is mercilessly abused to make him a defenceless laughing stock in front of his smirking peers.

When the hunk finally comes over to Kees' place while his parents are away, a desperate disappointment with a tragical twist is in the making…
