Short film Hockey

On the ice-skating court, an eleven-year-old boy is practicing hockey. In order not to be discovered by the bullies, he tries to make himself as invisible as possible. Nevertheless, the older hockey players find out he's there. At his weakest, and with great force, he catches enough courage to stand up for himself.
