Synopsis

School. The place where the resentment of the juvenile lies. Even though school may be a beautiful place in memory for friendship and hopes, it may also be remembered as a place of teachers' pets and the pressure for the college entrance exams. "Whispering corridors" presents horrors hidden in the school reality where the relationship between teachers and students is determined solely by grades students get and the financial positions of the students' families. Do you know that female students who are abused by teachers harbor hatred and the wish to take revenge in their hearts? "Whispering corridors" discloses the reality of high schools full of abuse and violence and brings relief to all female high school students each of whom at least once in school days experienced terror toward teachers and the classmates.
