The suicide of a bright schoolboy stirs extreme responses from those left behind, but this tricksy, intriguing feature keeps us guessing about the truth behind the flashbacks. Featuring a young girl transfixed by taxidermy, a predatory sports teacher who bonds rather too closely with his male students, and a literature teacher with a violent response to poor writing, this is an emotional puzzle with a dark sense of fun.
