synopsis

Pamela is a little girl who attends elementary school. One day before class, some friends ask her if she has studied for the math test; she says no and asks a friend if she will let her copy. The friend replies in the negative, angering her. Once in the classroom, all of her classmates do the assignment except Pamela, who is the last one to hand in the verification and leave the classroom, very sad. Her friend and other classmates notice that Pamela is not well and decide to look for her, to go to her to find out what is going on. In the meantime, the teacher notices that the child has not answered the verification questions, but has drawn two adults arguing. These adults are Pamela’s parents, who often argue in her presence causing her to suffer. Pamela, however, finds the courage to communicate this to the teacher and also to talk about it with her friends and, therefore, to ask for help.
