Black Boys

Sixteen-year-old Alex has just joined the Black Boys, a violent youth action group. His goal is to find the “black guy” who caused the accident in which his father lost his life and teach him a lesson. The Black Boys are willing to help him, but in return Alex will participate in the punitive actions that the group organizes. It is during one of these that Alex loses control of the situation and a man ends up in the hospital.
Alex is upset, especially since a witness saw him and an investigation is opened. He then attempts to leave the Black Boys, but the leader of the group threatens him. Crushed between peer pressure and the weight of increasingly difficult choices, Alex finds himself in a spiral that day by day tightens around him inexorably. Only when he is confronted with the most extreme outcomes of his actions will he become aware of the madness to which his desire for revenge has led him.
