What would you do if every day you watch how an older boy hits a smaller one at the exit of the school?
From a distant and grown up perspective, the answer seems easy... but for Violeta, our main character, it is not to be that way.
Violeta (11-12 years) is sick of an unfair world. She comes from a humble family, and she lives with injustice day after day.
From another point of view, if Violeta was in your class and came to say hello... you wouldn’t know who she is. She is invisible to the rest of the world, but this, as opposed to what you could think, this is what she wants, she is happy this way.
But the day she sees someone who participates in bullying a schoolmate, something is going to change inside her.
A feeling of impotence is going to empower her, to the point of wanting to act, finish that situation from once and for all and stop being invisible.
The logical answer to her problem seems to begin, obviously, for her padres, right? But come on... be realistic... After what I have told you about Violeta and her family, do you really think that she would do that?
The second possibility, of course, is to address to the teachers of the school. Right, but this is something that I have told you before...
If you have scroll up to check it, maybe you have stayed the same, don’t worry, I told you...
The bullying is taking place outside the school.
The bully of our story may have many defects on the contrary, he isn’t anybody’s fool. When a student of an education centre has abandoned the building, the school is no longer responsible for whatever can happen, and our bully takes advantage of this little "legal vacuum".
So... What she can do?
We are without options...
Let’s go to give you a white text space to think a little bit.

Ok, let’s go: spoiler on the next picture.
Exactly! Violeta will decide to inspire on the figure of the fight against the injustice more close a child can have: A SUPERHERO!
At the end, all I want to tell you is the story of one step. This is a change. This is a choice. This is a decision.
This decision is the one that Violeta is going to take. Do something. Something that, unfortunately, not everyone does.
In spite of everything I have told you... Who knows if he will achieve it?
To find out, help us to make this short film come true ;)
