About the film
A teacher meets with six students for their final evaluation before the summer holidays. Mr. Gallardo, a teacher known for his bad temper, lack of empathy and unpleasant character, is unusually cheerful today because it is a very special day for him. All the students are eagerly waiting for the final results of their exams, but something doesn’t quite add up: a final evaluation, Mr. Gallardo being kind and smiling, students full of anticipation, Miss Paloma looking surprised… What could possibly go wrong? Nothing… or everything. Genre: Dark Comedy. “Too much kindness for a final evaluation”
