Construction - Making use of Theory

From the outset of the short film, it is clear that Todorov's theory of narrative is being used. Our protagonist called Daniel tells the tale of how he was bullied during school, for he was weak and vulnerable. He now plans to get back at his friends (the disruption). From the beginning, it is clear that Daniel has realised that his bullies are the problem, and attempts to restore his mental order by killing all of them. Because this is only the opening scene, he only kills one of them - Sasha. But if the whole film were to play out, he would eventually have killed them all, leading to a state of equilibrium once more.
