A third grade of a primary school. The children can choose a game they want to play at the end of the lesson. Miriam,a cheeky girl, suggests the game Chinese Whisper and all children accept it enthusiastically. Paul, a black boy, sits next to Miriam while she whispers something to Louise, who sits on her other side. Suspense and gloating increase as the secret sentence is at the expense of Paul.
