focused drama...life inside the workings of an inner city high school. The theft of the titular bag is used as a device to get into the lives, motives, problems, yearnings, hypocrisy of teachers, administrators and students.
Surprisingly strong cast, particularly the lead, who conveyed a nice combination of caring, irony and naivete. A female student actor also shone. No-budget film was hurt by a dogma 95 look and feel but the story was so well constructed that I didn't care.
A sleeper.
