Borstal

Borstal starts off low-key, Kris, a young man heading to prison in rural UK. I generally like prison movies, but this one throws me off immediately.

Despite his unique qualities and individuality, society's preconceived notions and stereotypes overshadow his identity. This story, 'Painted Alike,' explores the protagonist's journey as he navigates through these challenges, seeking acceptance for who he truly is. It is a poignant reminder of the dangers of generalization and the importance of recognizing individual differences.
