Galina has grown increasingly skittish since her divorce, and her students (she's a high-school teacher) become alert to her vulnerability. Restraint would be uncharacteristic in this situation, as teens are notoriously unforgiving of the imperfections of their elders. They band together to make a complaint to the school governing committee that she's incompetent and anti-Semitic. When the students discover that she's having an affair with another teacher, they intrude on that, too. The last straw comes when, as a "trick," they kidnap her son from nursery school. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi
