Carnage

Synopsis

Two 12-year-old kids face violence in a park. Swollen lips and a few broken teeth… The “victim´s” parents invited the “bully´s” parents over to solve the conflict. What starts off as a chat with jokes and cordial sentences acquires a more violent tint as the parents reveal their ridiculous contradictions and grotesque social prejudices. None of them will escape the brutal final judgement.
