The literature teacher Herman comes across an exceptionally interesting homework assignment on the topic 'How I Spent the Weekend.' The quiet student from the last row, Claudio, has initiated a dangerous game with the family of his fellow student Rafa. But how far will it take them?

"The Boy in the Last Row" is an opportunity to look at our children through their eyes. To delve into their most intimate longings, problems, and frustrations. An opportunity to recognize them as individuals, different from us and our perceptions of them, as people who will become full-fledged members of our society. "The Boy in the Last Row" is our chance to take real responsibility for them, and thereby for our shared future together.

Reviews:

"Director Teya Sugareva unveils the world of an ordinary boy at a delicate age, facing family problems. A boy possessing the talent to write and experiencing his longing for a normal life in his writings, yet getting carried away in his dream. From an observer, he becomes an active participant in the fate of a family whose trust he initially gains but ultimately loses. The audience is immersed in the stage action, empathizing with every emotion and crisis of the characters, wondering 'How will this whole journey from reality to fiction and back end?' How far will Claudio go? Will the sign 'TO BE CONTINUED' shine again?
To be continued..."
