Joshua (Ramon), the main character, is clearly refusing to cooperate with the shrink, who seems to favor repressive in place of persuasive approach. In the next scene, a huge number of police officers, including SWAT teams and snipers, is deploying around Joshua’s school. Joshua has got a gun and has barricaded himself in the school counselor’s office along with six students as hostages.
