[edit] Plot

A desperate high school teacher, Anna (Gallardo) commits suicide, and as her final moments pass by, she tells the audience why she had killed herself. First of all she regrets choosing the teacher's job as her lifetime mission, secondly she wasn't able to stand the workplace bullying by her colleagues. Then she tells that she lost the principal election. Eventually Anna's corpse revives and bows in front of an audience as she lets us know that it was all real bar the suicide, which was in a play for her drama class.
